If you choose not to sacrifice a creature and he has no +1/+1 counters, then nothing bad happens. Note that some other effect must be keeping him alive if he has no counters.

Context

This printing is one of 3 catalogued treatments from TPR — the lineup includes Foil and Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #90 of *Tempest Remastered*, the set that shipped alongside the May 2015 Tempest Remastered release.

Card type: Legendary Creature — Vampire Noble, color identity black, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {2}{B}{B} (4 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #25,906 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
