Vadmir, New Blood — Cunning Nightborn
Vadmir, New Blood arrives as a compact threat that rewards aggressive interaction and careful timing. For {1}{B} you get a 2/2 Legendary Creature Vampire Rogue that grows whenever you commit a crime, gaining a +1/+1 counter the first time a crime occurs each turn. That trigger is precise so you can plan when to target opponents or graveyards and squeeze maximum value from each turn.
Once Vadmir reaches four or more counters it gains menace and lifelink, shifting from an evasive blocker to a sustainable beatstick. In Outlaws of Thunder Junction the card reads like a small piece of city lore; Vadmir thrives in schemes that disrupt resources and target opponents directly. Build around repeatable crimes and sacrifice synergies and he becomes both a clock and a lifeline for midrange black decks.
