Fiend of the Shadows isn't one of the best Vampire cards out there. But I jam her in my Olivia Voldaren EDH deck all day. Why's that? Check out her ability when she deals combat damage. Whenever she deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles a card from his or her hand. depriving a player of a card is good enough. But you may play that card for as long as it remains exiled.
Back in the day when people were still drafting Innistrad and Dark Ascension crads, this Fiend gal could get quite a few cards piled up if your opponent didn't have a flyer. A 3/3 flyer isn't all that wonderful, but you can even regenerate her by sacrificing a Human! I'm not sure how many Humans I have poking around in my Vampire decks... probably none. But hey, it was neat to have that option in Limited!
This is about as bulk a rare as bulk gets. Even the foils aren't worth a darn, because she was the feature card in one of the Dark Ascension intro packs. But hey, I'll pick these Fiends of the Shadows all day long, because I love getting dimes for them!
