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

Preacher of the Schism on Patrol

Preacher of the Schism rewards careful tempo and life management. This 2 4 Vampire Cleric arrives with Deathtouch so opposing creatures think twice before blocking. When you attack the player with the most life or tied for most life the Preacher makes a 1 1 white Vampire token with lifelink which helps shore up your life total while pressuring the board.

Play this card when you can maintain a life advantage or plan to trade life for card advantage. If you attack while you have the most life or are tied for most life you draw a card and lose 1 life which converts board pressure into resources. The effect pairs well with lifegain synergies and flicker effects and fits a control oriented black build in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan environment.
