Who takes the cake for the desired 3 mana spot in casual?
It depends on what format you are playing. I think Hypnotic Specter is banned in certain formats.

Hypnotic Specter is not banned in any format.
Both Hypnotic Specter and Vampire Nighthawk are not legal in standard.

Oh sorry. I don't know where I got that from. Either way, I'd 90% of the time prefer Hypnotic Specter over Vampire Nighthawk .

if it is casual and you ar playing black then you MUST be running Phyrexian Arena cuz it rules and if so the Vampire Nighthawk will counter the life loss nicely

yeah, I love hippy, but the nighthawk is better. I would rather have him first turn that hippy, but would not be mad about getting a hippy on turn one either

Whatever deck you're using, run 4x Dark Ritual and you'll be just fine.
Lots of people used to turn one dark ritual into Hypnotic Specter, attack turn two, and hit the person with Hymn to Tourach for 3 random cards lost in total by turn two.
