Fantastic :-).
I disagree with the price drop. I think the mythic rarity is going to keep it at $200 (or more) a playset, further hurting casual players trying to break into the tournament scene.
Of course, that's my beef with mythic rares in general. Walletslayer is just the poster boy (girl?) in my mind.

I think it WILL drop the price, but not as much as letting it rotate into extended would.

Why would it not drop in price? There will be a lot of people opening up new packs of m11 and drafting m11. That means there will be a larger supply of Baneslayers, possibly double the number that there are now. Nothing seems to be increasing the demand of Baneslayers. More supply and unchanged demand = lower price.

I think they'll either reprint him or a new vampire lord. The vampire tribe has gotten really popular.
But if they don't, Im storming WotC HQ...

Captivating Vampire 1BB (Rare) Creature Vampire Other Vampires you control get +1/+1. Tap five untaped vampires you control : You gain control of target creature. It becomes vampire in addition to other types. 2/2

It's sad to see that essence scater and twincast will leave us. Personaly I would like to not see nocturnous again, probably captivating vampire will replace him but at least this vamp fails to impress me, vampire decks are becoming a all out at the beggining strategy and I think this vamp is much too slow for

not sure what enchants too use if theres any for spot removal.and because the deck is rather slow i wondered if Dying Wish would fit in,however having a good mana ramp might be better overall?

I think this is awesome. Of course I do already own a playset myself, but if I didn't I would happy too. I think Baneslayer Angel will drop to about $30 due to the reprint making her much more affordable for people who want to run the card. Wizards is printing that Plummet card too, so Baneslayer won't be overpowered. Basically solves all the problems with Baneslayer while allowing those of us who love her to keep playing her.
