Welcoming Vampire — Courtly Draw Engine

Welcoming Vampire is a compact white creature that slots neatly into token builds and creature-based value shells. At four mana it offers flying and a repeatable draw trigger tied to small creatures entering the battlefield under your control. Use it as a centerline piece in decks that flood the board with one toughness attackers or token swarms; the ability only triggers once each turn but that makes it steady and predictable during combat and end step turns.

The card reads like a welcome mat for efficient creatures. It rewards sequencing and timing more than raw power. Play a low cost token after combat and pick up a card. It also works well with anthem effects and blink recursion where multiple small creatures enter across phases. From a lore angle the vampire blends high society and subtle economy; brides and guests arrive and the host quietly tallies gains.
