While it draws a card instead of growing via counters, it occupies the same low-cost utility slot.Vampire Nighthawkutility$0.20Classic black lifelink creature with strong defensive stats and evasion. It performs a similar life-swinging stabilizer role, though at a slightly higher mana cost.Sanctum Seekerfinisher$0.72A black lifelink-flavored creature that supports aggressive board states by gaining life and pressuring combat. It is more of a payoff card, but shares the lifegain creature role.Okiba-Gang Shinobiutility$1.47A black creature that offers immediate value when it enters, similar to Baleful Ammit's ETB impact. It is more disruptive than defensive, but still plays as a value creature.Marauding Blight-Priestutility$0.22A black creature that contributes to life-drain and board stabilization.
