Preacher of the Schism (Extended Art) (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Medium Play Foil

Preacher of the Schism — Edge of Faith

Preacher of the Schism is a practical tool for black aggressive and midrange decks that likes incremental advantage and combat trades. The card pairs deathtouch with a defensive four toughness and two power, which means it will routinely take down larger attackers while surviving most chump blocks. On offense the Preacher pressures the opponent with conditional triggers that generate a 1/1 white Vampire token with lifelink when you attack the player with the most life or tied for most life.

The secondary trigger rewards a leading life total with card flow. When you attack while you have the most life or are tied for most life you draw a card and lose one life. That effect sustains hand size in longer games and turns life totals into a resource to manage. Preacher of the Schism fits into tribal Vampire builds and utility black decks in Limited or Casual play and the extended art foil treatment adds a collectible presence to your playset.
