Blood Artist — Quiet Tax on the Grave
Blood Artist is the efficient little engine that punishes overcommitment and rewards board trades. This Near Mint Retro Frame printing from Innistrad Remastered presents the Vampire exactly as tournament players expect: a one drop with a persistent trigger that turns every casualty into incremental advantage. Play it early to tax blocks, pair it with sacrifice outlets for steady life swing, or tuck it behind a blocker to turn removal spells into card advantage over time.
The card reads clearly and does the job it claims. Whenever Blood Artist or another creature dies, target player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. That line translates into multiple practical lines of play: pressure opponents with attrition, combo with token generators, or lean on sacrifice synergies in Aristocrat shells. The art and retro frame underline Innistrad flavor without changing how you pilot the card in limited or constructed decks.
