Description
Open Arms, Sharp Bite
Welcoming Vampire is a compact white threat that rewards swarm tactics rather than solo dominance. At three mana it brings flying and a steady card flow when you flood the board with small creatures. The requirement is plain: whenever one or more other creatures with power 2 or less enter the battlefield under your control, draw a card. That trigger fires once each turn so timing matters and token turns become especially valuable.
From a deck building perspective this card is practical. It supports token engines, creature tutors, and any plan that produces multiple low power bodies in a single turn. The 2 over 3 body blocks early grounders and survives most removal spells aimed at one toughness creatures. In lore terms the vampire plays host to new arrivals and extracts advantage from their presence, fitting the Lost Caverns of Ixalan theme of hidden opulence and communal risk.
