You're forgetting that Blood Tyrant becomes a 7/7 flyer the upkeep after you play this one-on-one, then 9/9 next turn...zombify this or whatever then protect it with counters/discard and then. Oh well. At least we know this guy is usable in duels, not just multiplayer. In casual, it's a fun card to use

T1 land, Putrid Imp,
T2 land, discard Blood Tyrant and Reanimate him into play as a 12/12, Attack for 1 making BT a 13/13
T3 land, he becomes a 15/15 mana burn for 3 and attack and win

Wait. I know there's the whole "damage causes loss of life" clause on some cards, but does damage from attacks and manaburn count for blood tyrant's ability?

About the mana burn, the answer to your question comes from Comprehensive Rules:
"300.3. When a phase ends (but not a step), any unused mana left in a player's mana pool is lost. That player loses 1 life for each one mana lost this way. This is called mana burn. Mana burn is loss of life, ..."
Damage is "loss of life", as it is clearly stated on the already mentioned card (Sygg).
Would Tyrant get +1/+1 counter through Reanimation? I guess not but if you follow the rule text it states:
Put creature into play. Lose life equal to cc. that would be more than awesome ?!?
In this case Blood Tyrant will get counters. As it is written in CR 413.2b "The controller of the spell or ability follows its instructions in the order written.". So, following the instructions of the first sentence, you put the vampire into play. Then, you lose 7 life, according to the second sentence and, as Blood Tyrant is already in play and the condition that triggers its second ability is met, this ability goes on the stack. After Reanimate finishes resolving, this ablity resolves too and you get the counters.
The card text has been repaired in the first post. It will get +1/+1 counters only from his own lifeloss ability. Still not bad I think in multiplayer.
aww man!!!
I prefered the original rumoured version!! mana burn ftw!!

Quote from Starkiller2, in response to Worldwake booster packs missing the rare/mythic card »
We got the Priceless Treasures (in Zendikar), now they give us the Deadly Perils!
Okay now that we have a downgraded version(real version). It's got much less of a target painted on it for multiplayer(still a massive target though). And in limited it's gone from a 1-2 hit to a 2-3 hit win condition. None of this is all that much of an issue for me given that even with the original wording I never considered it to be constructed playable.
Awwww, damn. Well it is still fun, but its awe factor has decreased somewhat. Definitely not a constructed card now, but I will still like to have some for my multi-player casual games.

so...i dont think this works but it may.....would he get the 5 counters if your opponent had a liches mirror and then lost the game? or does mirror get around that ability?
This is not nearly as good as I thought it would be. Oh well Another lackluster rare. I wonder how much the good rares in the set will be since we keep getting garbage.
just went from nuts to meh.
other than banefire and esperoza there is nothing i want. Come on good rares (or commons/uncommons) i know you are out there.

Current Fallen Angel (Anson Maddocks art) Count:449!!!
There was a format I heard of once in which multiple people just keep playing. If you loose you shuffle up and start again, with a number of turns grace period. This card was MADE for that format. Sounds like fun eh?
This thing gets enourmous very very quickly if there are 3 or more players. But it can be chumped by fog of gnats and will-o'-the-wisp all day long so I wouldn't worry about it.

Shame, this card had tremendous potential with Shallow Grave effects and something like Necropotence.
