Huh. Interesting take on a vampire theme. Obviously, this card has no use outside of multiplayer games. But like you said, this is only one of the vampire's abilities. I hope that your hint points to this basically "draining" everything that it can; something like the typical "when a creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on this" so it doesn't suck.
I'm really starting to like the innovation that I'm seeing with Conflux. Between Nicol's (unconfirmed) 4 Planeswalker abilities and this guy "eating" players, Magic is finally starting to feel fresh again.:D Thanks Zesty!!

The ability sounds really cool, it's always nice when wizards make cards for multiplayer. I'm just hoping that the rest of the stats and whatever other ability he has are good enough to make him limited strong or maybe even constructed playable.
Now I am not sure whether or not "Bleed" perhaps is a mechanic that maybe is like:
Bleed X (Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, put that many +1/+1 counters on it)
Thoughts?
I think that this would fit well in the vampire theme and I really have to say that Grixis is becoming a very fun shard for multiplayer games. I also want to thank Team Zesty for their spoilers so far and I hope for many more! Great job man!
i think he'll have an ability that can cause a player to lose the game through a certain condition. i mean, the +5/+5 ability ain't worth too much without it

I'm always happy to see a few Multiplayer cards in a set, allthough his ability is way to Timmy to be strong. If he has any form of self-protection I may change my mind, but at the moment it looks just like It'd be a big flying guy, which most of the time won't be enough to sleeve him up (at least at my table). We'll see, maybe I'm too pessimistic about that one. I'd really like to see a GOOD specially-for-multiplayer-designed-card.

So he gets its counter all 30 minutes. Also, I lost The Game. Damn.

GENERATION 8: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your sig and add 1 to the generation. social experiment.

What... like, combat damage?
But in all seriousness, Szadek, Lord of Secrets works in almost the same way in a multiplayer game. You "leech" off one player until you kill him, and then Szadek retains that bonus when you turn to the next player.
But really, all this tells me about the new card is that it's casual chaff, perhaps EDH or Type 4 playable, that will be worth next to nothing. Yay! Cool ability, though.
I don't think any of us are close to unwrapping this riddle yet. The "lose the game" bit is being taken far to literally I think (if not then i'm very surprised it's in the intro pack).
Also I agree with white knights, I really want to see giltspire avenger.
This looks fun, also for the guy who said he would pass this in draft, a 5/5 flyer IS GOOD. btw I am going on the assumption he, like most other vamps are 5/5 flyers

I don't wanna tell if it's correct or incorrect but in the conflux guess the name interview with guys from WotC they told that Blood Tyrant was hovering around Jund, so, anything is possible man...:D
Correct, because creatures are beginning to appear on the "wrong" Shards. The Shards are starting to come together (ie Conflux) and the barriers between the Shards are weakening, causing some creatures show up in the wrong Shard.
In other words, it's still probably a Grixis creature and still probably in Grixis colors. But it happens to have appeared on Jund. What this means exactly is unclear, could it have Devour (the Jund mechanic), or perhaps an anti-Jund ability (ie protection:Green), or something else that we don't know yet.
If it was phrased as a replacement effect, I would have assumed it was going to be a Platinum Angel variant, but if it only triggers from a player actually losing the game than yeah, it points towards WOTC pushing multiplayer.

Thanks a lot Zesty!! Does he fly?
Also, can we have *anything* about either Banefire or Countersquall? Pretty please?
Seems kinda odd that unless Wizards was encouraging multiplayer even at a limited level why they would do that.
PS, Zesty, can you confirm Noble Hierarch in our spoiler and its Rarity if you know of it?

something like, if you would lose the game, instead you won't as long as Blood Tyrant remains in play.
Or do the layers/stack work like that?
Or it's a 6/6 Flying for 7 mana (which isn't that bad. And this ability just doesn't do anything.. But zesty did say it had another ability(ies)...
Anyways, thanks zesty!

Devour is a Jund mechanic, Vampires originate in Grixis.
Don't we have enough Grixis cards spoiled? I wanna see more Bant!

Perhaps there is an interaction with this vampire much like the unhinged card "enter the dungeon" where you start a subgame of sorts.
If nothing else it would be entirely interesting; granted this idea is less plausible than every other suggestion i've read
Haha, I was actually thinking about Ass Whuppin': Whenever a player loses in any game you can see from your seat etc.
