Obscenely expensive, but very hard to lose with if it goes unanswered. It can just sweep up the little guys and use that power to go for the throat.

Ironically, Go for the Throat can kill it.

How is that ironic? A kill spell can kill it, that's exactly what you would expect.

The irony is that vampires traditionally go for the throat, and this is a freaking vampiric dragon.

I never noticed the sleeves before. Now he looks homeless to me.


This card could have been fun, had they not overpriced him into oblivion. Eight mana? This was Invasion, not Legends. Didn't they learn anything from Axelrod Gunnarson?

Kaalia of the Vast LOVES hybrid typelines. Just ask Malfegor! A pity they didn't make an Angel-Demon for her. That would have just been....the baddest ass typeline to ever grace a Magic card. Would have put the Creative Team through Hell and back trying to figure out how to make that one work. The rewards would be Heavenly though. :D

@sleetfox @jsttu @pedrodyl its not ironical its stupid saying that even more cause go for the throat kill almost every vampire in this game
and even if the picture of the card shows a vampire the card itself is not tribal or something like this.. so not ironical and not even funny at all

I know he is expensive, but he is still one of my favorite cards of all time. He's in my dragon reanimator deck, which means hes not very expensive at all.

It would have claw, claw, rend, bite, wing-buffet, wing-buffet, tail-slap, slam, energy drain, spell-like ability, and breath weapon attacks in D&D. That one point of damage for 1Red can come from a lot of things flavor-wise, so why not imagine them all?

This was my favorite card for years, and I never noticed the sleeves.
