Original card.

For the spare black uncommon slots, I'm tossing in a bunch of vampires and some vampire tribal. I mean, Baron Sengir is just begging for the set to have more vampires. And while I did his bidding and toyed with the numbers, we're still under vampires being a competitive tribe.

Since The Baron likes to add on counters the old-school way, I figured I'd make a number of different vampires with the Sengir Vampire trigger. I really want there to be a combination Prodigal Pyromancer/Sengir Vampire, but I'm not sure how to make it a black card (or black/red.) I could have it reduce power and toughness... but then the wording for the trigger would have to be awfully weird for that to work. [Edit: Oh wait, maybe not. "Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn. Until end of turn, when that creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on ~." Good to go.]

On the artwork: Despite the internet being flooded with zombie and vampire art, it turns out there isn't much in the way of a vampire controlling a zombie. Something about the mood of the piece I suppose. Most people want to draw vampires sexy, and zombies not. Or both funny, which doesn't help me.
