Bad removal? What? It kills every competitive creature that is played in every format at the moment for 2 mana. If not for it's problematic manacost it would be the best black removal. Hell, for heavy black decks it is the best removal.
Definitely putting Victim in all my black decks over Doom Blade and GftT.
The White enchantment is pretty good, but unless you're playing multicolor tokens or you're getting your tokens from non-creature sources, Honor of the Pure seems better.
Victim of Night reminds me of Rend Flesh. Could be good the further out you go from Standard, especially if vampires/werewolves/zombies are not break-out competitive decks.
Victim look to be a standard staple after rotation since I doubt werewolves or zombies will be viable and it hits anything in white weenie or tempered steel
That white enchantment is pretty cool. We're seeing a lot of tokens in this set, and this card is amazing for them. Just think... they aren't WHITE creature tokens... you can splash this in Zombie decks.
Wow I suppose I always just assumed grave titan was a zombie giant. Oh wizards you so crazy.
Either way BB is a huge restriction over 1B.
Also not all the vampires are bad - the 1/1 gets-bigger-on-comabt-damage is highly playable in RDW, there's very little you can put in front of him early game and what you can dies to any of red deck's 8000 burn spells, and if you connect once you're golden.

Although always playing a deck I think is fun, I'm also always trying to win the tournament.

Enchantment makes me think strictly better Leyline of the Meek. (Come on now, when were you going to use that Leyline on turn 1 with any real efficacy?)
Shapeless Virtue- this set is really pushing the playability of token strategies, i'm not sure if this is worth playing over Honor the Pure but the vigilance definitely makes it worth a look.
Victim of Night- This will see play in limited, the fact it can't kill 3 of the major Innistrad tribes is painful but there are plenty of humans etc. which will see play even in limited decks with a heavy tribal theme. In constructed we've got Dismember, Doom Blade and Go for the Throat all of which should see more play than this, although until vamp/werewolf/zombie decks take off(if they ever do) the ability to kill black creatures like Grave Titan and Phyrexian Obliterator as well as artifact creatures like Wurmcoil Engine in the one card might just make it see some constructed play.
Surely the Falkenrath Noble & Rakish Heir are playable?
well falkenrath noble is a 4 mana 2/2 that occasionally drains for 1
rakish heir/stormkirk noble have below-curve stats that are only good if your opponent does absolutely nothing. your forced to use removal on random 2/2's just so you can grow your 1/1. seems bad. neither thada adel nor slavering nulls were ever playable in standard.
Go for the Throat was a good card in Scars limited, so Victim of Night would probably be about as good in Innistrad limited. Conditional removal is still removal, after all.

A huge thanks to Argetlam and the guys at Hakai studios for this awesome banner
You know, except every creature save Manic Vandal in the Vampires deck.
It also fails to kill Grave Titan.so maybe it does kill grave titan.However, it's BB as opposed to 1B and presumably werewolves, vampires, and zombies will be more playable after rotation.

MTGS egos at their finest.
Thoughts on proxies:
Grave Titan is a Giant
it kills grave titan
vampires is rotating out. all the innistrad vampires are laughably bad
it saves the trouble of choosing between doom blade (grave titan) or gftt (tempereds teel)
White enchantment seems straightforward, you play token beats, you can play this.

Titan has Giant type.
And not killing vampires while killing everything relevant in modern and legacy is a deal I can agree to.
For standart with only Inn set we will not have evil tribal decks. The cards are not there. And hitting both steel and all the titans is huge.
