Occultist of the Stromkirk Line
Stromkirk Occultist (Retro Frame) brings a compact package of aggression and card advantage to red aggro and madness builds. The card name signals what it does on the battlefield: a 3/2 Vampire Horror for {2}{R} with trample that turns combat damage into immediate card access. In practice this means every time Stromkirk Occultist connects, you get to exile the top card of your library and may cast it that turn, which accelerates tempo and punishes opponents for leaving it unchecked.
Between trample and the printed Madness cost of {1}{R}, the Occultist fits cleanly into decks that trade pieces for value and want redundancy in their discard lines. The retro frame art shows a hooded figure weaving eldritch sigils, matching Innistrad Remastered’s gothic feel and making this light play copy a playable tabletop piece and a collectible for format fans. Add it to creature suites where each attacker also serves as a looter and a madness enabler.
