So basically, if you have a means of gaining lots of life, you can Vindicate every turn for free. Seems like a top-notch Commander in a deck that specializes in lifegain.

At 7 life it should not only hit land but also put destroyed permanents into play under your control. 7 life? That's a bunch...a whole bunch...in 60 card formats.
This will see play. Should've exiled. Then it could come down and be a huge threat. All the deck needs is low cost vampires with lifelink and it'll work.

A BW Soul Sisters deck could make it work pretty easily.

Sicknasty. Reminds me, obviously, of Krond the Dawn-Clad, but easier to use if slightly lower-impact on the board. Vampire tribal EDH is getting a hell of a lot of tools.
So, this is like anguished unmaking once you gain the 4 life back (or gain it before). On 4/4 legs. Not bad at all. Well, you don't get to exile the permanent, so not as good, but repeatable.
A month ago wizards announced “Magic Arena“
Today on the 7th it was sheduled to be revealed what it is.
Anyone well-versed ?
Also that Vampire is good alone with its stats & keywords. Though i wish it had Flying rather than vigilance, which is pointless with his activated ability.
Tbh 7 life frightens me at first.
I dont know . . . I cant evaluate it yet, but still. Powerful ability for high price

I don't see it. If you're gaining that much life you're already winning with a Pridemate or something. I will back off my initial impression of 'wildly unplayable' by virtue of the card enabling itself. With Vigilance and Lifelink, if it does get in twice for damage, it can nuke something for 'free' due to lifelink without costing an attacker due to vigilance. I'm still not on board, but my knee-jerk reaction may have been premature.
Call to the Feast into this creature sets you up to start pulling ahead on turn 6. Even if you manage to activate it only once or twice the advantage you gain should be essentially insurmountable.
Alternatively, activate this creature, spend the 7 life, then Fumigate. Either way works.
Today is the seventh day of September.
The ability costs seven life to use.
There are exactly seven letters in 'vampire'.
This card costs five mana, not seven.
Power and toughness doesn't add to seven.
There's not seven vampires in the art.
I put seven words in every sentence.
Pretty card. Interesting ability that seems totally Commander to me.
Unless they've not spoiled a buttload of lifegain vampy cards, not Standard worthwhile. At 5 CMC play Crested Sunmare instead and win straight up with with lifegain when it sticks. Legendary makes it awkward too.
You can't even respond to Glorybringer by destroying it when it enters the battlefield :/ so it gets you for sure. Feels like Vamps are a tease this set. Maybe setting up for next set?

Vigilance, lifelink
T, pay 7 life: Destroy target nonland permanent. Activate this ability only during your turn.
You're welcome, vampire EDH players.
Also, white and black are the lifegain colors. This card is bananas in EDH and probably could see standard play.
I would take Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter, Teysa, Orzhov Scion or Karlov of the Ghost Council any day over this, especially with recently Mardu Vampire deck with good 3 Color options for Vamps

That's a auto include in all life gain decks vindicate on a stick
edgar markov got another toy.
I might want this for my Selenia deck, but five is a lot of mana.
I mean, the card is really fun, too, but that art wins the thread. Wow.

You mean because she actually does something other than turn sideways for a bajillion power?
