Bloodmad Vampire is a madness-enabled 4/1 that grows whenever it deals combat damage — but the ceiling only matters if you can reliably pitch it from hand at instant speed. Outside of Anje Falkenrath, where it doubles as a discard outlet trigger and a free madness cast, it rarely earns a slot.

Anje Falkenrath
Bloodmad Vampire is a core piece in Anje Falkenrath decks because it has madness, which means tapping Anje to loot it away immediately lets you cast it for its madness cost — effectively chaining activations toward your actual win condition while putting a body on board for free.

Bloodmad Vampire is a narrow card outside Commander, and even there it only works in one deck. In Pauper it has no meaningful home — the format's aggro and tempo shells want better rate creatures, not a fragile 4/1 that costs three. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer all have access to far stronger madness payoffs and discard synergies, so Bloodmad Vampire doesn't compete. Commander is its only real context, and even there it's almost exclusively an Anje Falkenrath card — the madness tag is the entire reason it gets played.
