However, the last part of the ability will check how much life you've gained as the ability resolves, so if you've only gained 5 life this turn by the time the end step comes around, you could still gain 2 more life while this ability is on the stack in order to return the target creature card to the battlefield instead of your hand
Then, Sanguine Bond triggers, causing an opponent to lose life, triggering Exquisite Blood again
The service remains at the same rate
I love gothic horror, and I especially love the way it was handled in Midnight Hunt through artistic choices as well as card design and mechanics
Angels synergize well with Humans, and Herald can reduce Sigardas tax, if nothing else
All kidding aside, this was a pretty fun deck to build and a fun one to pilot
