So the second set in the upcoming Innistrad "block" is Crimson Vow, which is supposed to be Vampire themed. We actually know a bit more about it than we do Midnight Hunt just because we got a story blurb saying we'd see an important wedding, and there's already been some fruitful speculation about that - it's accepted that one of the spouses is going to be Olivia Voldaren, for example.

But - what could a vamp set do mechanically? We know Innistrad's bloodsuckers have a saboteur theme, but beyond that there's little to go on, except maybe for "Sacrifice matters".
Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

They might take a page from Vampire: The Masquerade and introduce/expand on the specific abilities and differences of the Vampire clans. The Falkenraths, for example, could have a madness theme, another clan would have a mill theme, and so on.

Aren't the Falkenrath's basically extinct after Sorin's crusade?

Personally I hope we see more of the less well known families, like the Mauer. There are 13 families after all, we can't just focus on the same four every time.
