When Cemetary Gatekeeper enters the battlefield, exile a card from a graveyard.
Whenever any player plays a land or casts a spell, if it has the same type as the exiled card, Cemetary Gatekeeper deals 2 damage to that player.

6/6
Whenever Olivia's Attendants deals damage, create that many Blood tokens.(They are artifacts with "1, T, Discard a card, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")
2R: Olivia's Attendants deals 1 damage to any target.
Attendants: well there’s my vote for fastest blood tokens makers
Red Cemetry: That’s nasty! You can severely punish different types of decks with this guy heck you can straight up make him Zo-Zu the Punisher the only safety net is it hits you too so auto include for Torbran, Thane of Red Fell
other notes:
Only 2 mythics to go and it’s Kaya and the blue Cemetry creature
This is the best of the cemetery cycle by FAR. It’s a good body that incidentally hoses the graveyard in a way that bypasses ground seal and the like (like the whole cycle) but that uses the effect for a very relevant group slug effect.
Hmm...Olivia's Attendants says deals damage...not combat damage. And a reusable ping ability too. That ping ability helps the vamps in Midnight Hunt that care about opponents losing life for amplified effect.

So "Cemetery Gatekeeper" can perform a decent Eidolon of the Great Revel impression if it exiles the right card...except if it gets offed by instant-speed removal in response to the exile trigger.
If the translation is right and 1) it does not need to be combat damage and 2) damage need not be done to players, this is very interesting.
Every time it attacks, you are likely to get 6 blood. All of the synergies that work with blood (from madness to Marionette Master to Goblin Welder) get a lot of mileage and giving you card selection to dig for one of those pieces if you don’t have one. It is also a decent mana sink for infinite mana engines, which red doesn’t have a ton of. Finally, It’s a nice vampire top-end alongside patron of the vein if you are playing anything other than low-cmc Edgar.
The only problem with it is that it’s a a 6-mana creature without haste or an ETB effect… which can be a huge problem. As far as elder gargaroth type cards go, however, this is my favorite in red so far (especially as red is the color of haste enablers).

the blue one is revealed and that one may be are winner of the cycle it’s future sight but kept a secret and you can add more types since it can attack trigger
The fact that the blue one only lets you futuresight one card each turn is a limiting factor, though you may well be right be right. A painless phyrexian arena tacked to a 2/3 flier who hates graveyards is pretty decent.
Cemetery Gatekeeper does exile the least cards, but it could also deal the most damage of anyone in the cycle. Olivia's Attendants tell me all the creatures that make multiple Blood tokens are in rare (Or higher?)

there was an alternate art with 3 vampire sisters used for a single vampire... guess it would have suited better for the attendants
Both "sisters" Dracula treatment cards bug me and either would have been a slam dunk for this card. In the end I guess it doesn't matter to me because all 3 (Olivia, the attendants and henrika) have good fang variants - but it just seems like they could have dug through a few more Dracula movies to find some sort of better fit for the card. Same thing happened in ikoria with the hangarback walker mechagodzilla which would have been an awesome walking ballista.

They are also known as the "Brides" of Dracula so I think Olivia being the bride of this set fits.
