i like this card but i want to make sure im using it properly. the card says:
Enchantment-When Chime of Night is put into a graveyard from play, destroy target nonblack creature.
What ive been doing is enchanting one of my own 1/1 creatures, and when it gets killed by an opponent, i send the creature and chime of night into my graveyard. then i select an opponents creature and destroy it. is that right? it seems a little cheap. Thanks.

to be honest, in my opinion, Vampire Nighthawk though good, isn't as great as most people think.
you're paying 3 total mana, two of which must be black, for a 2/3 flyer.
yes, i know it has lifelink & deathtouch, but only if it deals damage. its three toughness is easily taken care of with something like Lightning Bolt . and since most of the time, you wouldn't play with a total monocolor black deck in tournaments, considering the current meta, there isn't any top tier monocolor deck (yet), you'd probably need the land for other things. by the time you get those two swamps and another free land, you'd already be itching to cast something else different.
if you want more bang for your buck, and if you're playing a black deck with staple cards, then i suggest playing Arrogant Bloodlord over Vampire Nighthawk . take care of their 1/1 creatures and other small whatevers with things like disfiguire, Vendetta and of course Doom Blade , play Arrogant Bloodlord and watch them quake in fear as they scramble to get a big enough creature to combat against it.
but hey, that's my opinion
