I get SV on Vlad anyways, because it gives him terrific stats early game. Bonus health to work with his passive, Mres for keeping mid mage harass down a bit, CDR which lets you get off more Qs and Es, and of course that all-too tasty passive. If you have a WotA and a Visage, you'll never have to go back to base; you can just stay in lane, def turrets, and rack up CS. Until you have to buy, that is.

If the game goes on long enough, though, it can be more beneficial to sell SV and grab something stronger, maybe a FoN or an Abyssal Scepter. That is, if you take that long. xD
