Yeah it’s almost a guarantee you’ll be able to deal with the token and get it to a 4/4 by turn 3. Great card

Completely disagree. I think it's really bad actually. Giving them a free blocker is very bad. Using a card to deal with the blocker you gave them is horrifically bad.

Even still being able to get 1 each turn and not just on your own stuff is strong for an uncommon.

That card is not particularly playable in anything but limited and in limited it's at the power level of a medium curve filling common. How exactly do you plan on killing the 1/1? Spending a card and 2 or 3 mana? This creature is awful if you're spending 2 cards on it. If you don't and the opponent ever removes it then it's worse than every other 2 drop you could play because it is straight up benefitting your opponent to have played it.

you attack with it, ya dingus ! if they block with the 1/1 you gave them, that eliminates the 1/1 and now you have a 4/4

Of note, new promo codes I didn't see posted here at all:
PARCELMYR - Some Exp, like 2k gold, was added like a week or two ago? No idea when it expires, just saw it today.

SCALEUP - The actual code just released that I saw today, gives 3k exp, expires just before Midnight Hunt releases, so you can't wait for the new track to get a head start.


E: Oh yeah, and cheap gems in the store!

These are the 2 drop vampires that have been played the last few times vampire aggro has been a deck people tried playing seriously in standard:



This card is in the set already:



It's a fine card in limited that has some potential to take over a game. The card is pretty embarassing in vampire decks in any real format, and only growing on opponent's creatures dying means it has no real place in aristocrats style decks either.

Involving those two cards you can play any five drop on turn 3.

It had the misfortune of being printed in the same set as Undead Augur and only one black tribal deck could emerge.

The opponent token might not be better, but i like it better cause the other cards i play like Blood Thief and Tresspasser's Curse want opponent tokens.

Illness is a win more 4 of, its more likely ill have one of those others on board cause theres 8 copies.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."

I'm into this, obviously good against decks you run removal against anyway, and I like it with Cordial Vampire as mentioned. For vampire tribal it might push things in a new direction, or maybe that's not where it should go and it's for more of a Aristocrats deck, although that might put it in company of Blood Artist anyway. It's probably not great against decks that didn't have many creatures to begin with, they'll have a chump block for a turn which gives some time to find a sweeper or other removal.
