I see this guy getting use in discard/disruption strategies. CIP effect/reanimating critters backed with removal and hand disruption into a T3/4 Demon of Deaths Gate is a pretty solid strategy
Is born to be played in a red agro deck, or Red/Green for that matter. Burn a blocker, swing for 4, no block? giant growth for +6/+3 and make it 10. Pretty tight.
There's just too much efficiency in the Vampire camp. 3 mana for a 2/2 + cruel edict? Eternal bloodghasts? Highborns for life gain...the list keeps growing. the only problem could be a bit of a glut in the 2 mana slot.
There's usually a balancing point - very rarely is there a simple I win deck or strategy. Basic premise for any spedd deck is lite on land, 18-20 depending on average cmc.
forget all that force/wormhole crap. Vader owns shreeder any day of the week and twice on sunday.
Shredder is nothing more than a ninja guy that takes orders froma walking brain. Vader single handedly takes out small armies of laser firing soliders.
If you're going top take away the Force and his light sabre, you might as well just put shredder up against any other guy with a full body cast and prosthetic limbs.
It doesn't really matter too much how much hate is around. If they create enough Hate-resistant cards in any set it'll be competitive. WoTC seems to delight in finding ways to rejink new sets so the old rules don't apply.
This guy seems like a good option to me. 4 mana for a 6/6 flying trampler that can get them to -ve life but not kill them is pretty good. sac it for the win.

otherwise all you're really doing is armageddoníng yourself.

Force and Lightsabre makes Vader who he is.
