Epicure of Blood — Silent Tax on Lifegain
Epicure of Blood is a compact threat that punishes opponents every time you passively shore up your life total. The card name fits the effect: this Vampire turns incidental lifegain into a slow bleed for the table. As an experienced pilot you will pair it with small lifelinkers, recurring lifegain engines, or spells that refund life to extract incremental advantage across turns.
On the battlefield Epicure of Blood reads simply yet scales well. It trades efficiency for inevitability by converting each point you gain into one point they lose. Use it in a midrange shell or a rakish lifegain brew when you want a steady clock that interacts with both combat and noncombat lifegain. Grab this Near Mint English copy from Foundations Jumpstart and slot it into decks that want passive pressure without committing a high curve piece.
