Interesting that they decided to make him Orzhov. He's probably as mono-black as they come. What is white about him?
Vampires have typically been white/black
The mechanics are WB. The character himself may be mono black but it's harder to justify the card being so with a straight lifegain effect.
I haven't been around for well over a decade. Is this not extremely OP?
Oh man, a decade? Yea, the power creep in the past 4-ish years has been more like a power flood, this card is playable, but far from OP
Some more egregious examples from recent memory: Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer The evoke elementals Sheoldred, the Apocalypse The One Ring
GEEEEEZ.
I used to be a prodigy who never lost a FNM but had to sell off my collection so I could afford to eat. Shortly after they increased card power per mana by like 1.5 and introduced Planeswalker cards. This makes everything favor rapid rollout strategies and lowers statistical stability a lot! I decided the game was ruined a at that point and didn't go back.
