Blood Petal Celebrant — Agile Nightblade
Blood Petal Celebrant is a compact, attack‑oriented Vampire that rewards forward motion. For {1}{R} you get a 2/1 creature that gains first strike while attacking, which lets it trade favorably in combat and push through early damage. The printed ability is straightforward and provides tempo in aggressive red builds or spice in midrange decks that want efficient creatures with upside when they die.
Its death trigger creates a Blood token, an artifact that converts a lost body into card advantage at the cost of a discard and a small mana investment. That interaction makes the Celebrant useful in synergy decks that care about artifacts or sacrifice outlets, and it offers a tidy resilience against removal. Experienced players will value the Celebrant as a predictable, low cost piece that slots into curve turns and turns a casualty into a repeatable resource.
