About Vampire Warlord

Vampire Warlord, Creature — vampire warrior, designed by Wesley Burt first released in Jul, 2013 in the set Magic 2014. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.39.

A deck focused on sacrificing creatures for value, such as a black sacrifice or aristocrats deck, would benefit from using Vampire Warlord. While it provides a form of protection for itself, there are potentially better cards with similar effects like Bloodghast or Gravecrawler that offer more consistent recursion. Vampire Warlord could see play in specific strategies that rely on creature sacrifice synergies, but may not be a top choice in more competitive decks.

Rules

07/01/13

Activating Vampire Warlord’s ability causes a “regeneration shield” to be created for it. The next time that creature would be destroyed that turn, the regeneration shield is used up instead. This works only if the creature is dealt lethal damage, dealt damage from a source with deathtouch, or affected by a spell or ability that says to “destroy” it. Other effects that cause the creature to be put into the graveyard (such as reducing its toughness to 0 or sacrificing it) don’t destroy it, so regeneration won’t save it. If the regeneration shield isn’t used, it goes away as the turn ends.

07/01/13

If Vampire Warlord is dealt lethal damage and is dealt damage by a source with deathtouch during the same combat damage step, a single regeneration shield will save it.
