He might start researching the possibility of becoming a fiend or dark god as a means of escaping Barovia.
I think "escape Barovia" would probably be his primary motivation.
Something I've been working on for CoS was the idea that Strahd himself believes that the Gods conspired to trap him in Barovia because they knew he would conquer everything if they didn't stop him. I think, if he had the means, he would escape Barovia, build his army, then find someway to confront and consume the blood of a God.
The first thing Strahd would do is achieve his goal of acquiring the love of his life. Then he would go conquering with his bat, wolf, werewolf and vampire spawn army. An army which can attack from, and retreat through, the mists. Mists that he controls where they would appear.

I second this - after acquiring Tatiana he would most definitely find means of escape. If he can choose to freely come and go as he pleases, there wouldn't be a force powerful enough to stop him. Only the dark forces in which created him, but likely Strahd will need to destroy them to break free in first place.

So what do you think Strahd would do, if he got his hands on the Tome of Vile Darkness
