Raise the Line

Bloodline Necromancer is a compact graveyard engine that slots cleanly into tribal and control builds. The creature trades toughness for a steady value trigger. Cast it, and the enter the battlefield ability gives you an immediate board presence by reanimating a Vampire or Wizard from your graveyard while lifelink helps recover life to offset the investment.
In Commander mirrors the card reads like a small inevitability play. It pairs with recursion effects and sacrifice outlets, and it doubles as an enabler for death triggers that care about creatures entering the battlefield. Use it as a midgame threat to restore a key creature or to loop value with a sacrifice outlet. The card name matters at the table only for flavor. The rules text is straightforward and reliable.
