Wedding Security puts a 4/4 Human Soldier on the board that drains an opponent for 2 life whenever you play a Vampire — the effect is real, the price is three mana and a life payment each trigger. Outside of dedicated Vampire builds headlined by Strefan, Maurer Progenitor, that cumulative life cost adds up faster than the drain offsets it.

Strefan, Maurer Progenitor
Strefan, Maurer Progenitor wants a steady stream of Vampires entering play to load up Blood tokens and cheat fatties into play, and Wedding Security turns each of those enters-the-battlefield triggers into free drain — the life cost matters less when opponents are already taking hits from Strefan's attack step.

Wedding Security is a niche Commander piece that doesn't register in competitive constructed. In Modern and Pioneer the rate is simply too slow — a 4/4 for three mana with a conditional, life-taxed drain effect doesn't compete with what those formats demand at that slot. Legacy and Vintage don't want it either; Vampire tribal has no meaningful presence there. Commander is the only home where the card earns its slot, and even there it's narrowly confined to Vampire-dense builds where the drain accumulates across a long game.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
Wedding Security sits firmly in bulk territory at $0.08 — buy a playset for less than a dollar and don't think twice about it. Bulk tribal role-players like this rarely spike unless the tribe gets a pushed new commander, so don't count on the price moving.
