Why didn't WotC add the Warrior type to him when they made him a Vampire?

Yeah, and why didn't they name him Crovax, Ascendant Evincar when they made him?

Points for the flavor text, makes him look much more bada*s than the new one.

So, Crovax was a racist in addition to being a vampiric puppet of Phyrexia. Who knew?

@Tiggurix Back then, WotC didn't want people getting confused with the ''Legend with the same name'' business.

Fun in its time, but utterly outclassed by Elesh Norn.

Awesome. "For a limited time, order 1 Night of Soul's Betrayal and get 2 Badmoons absolutely free!"
I use in my pestilence deck. Just for kicks.
4.5/5
Trivia: Crovax one of two legends with three printed creature cards! Name the other!

The only ruling: "If Ascendant Evincar stops being black, it gives itself -1/-1."
Unnecessary ruling because once you go black...

How exactly was this guy even close to beating Volrath the Fallen? Not only are his printed stats weaker, his ability boosts Volrath and does nothing for himself.

As a six drop, this guy has been rendered nearly unplayable by today's standard. Which is unfortunate, seeing this guy seems pretty boss, and has a baller flavor text.

In the early stages of my Phyrexia deck and meta, Crovax would smoke people alone because I was the only one who used (and for some reason still uses) Black. It's a shame he's little more than just a relic now...

@Salient True, except that Crovax here has the advantage of being black, while Elesh Norn has the disadvantage of being white.

And Crovax flies and has a good tribal type too.
