cards like blood artist mtg Magic the Gathering Adventures: BFZ Review Part 11: Black Allies and Vampires The Gathering Blood Artist — Rulings, Legalities

The Sturdy qualifier definitely isn't a lie for this card , with a willpower of five bolstered by a Resist +1 to reduce incoming damage, making it easy to generate three lore each turn unperturbed

The lifegain mode is minuscule in Commander, and the option to counter a loyalty ability won't present itself all that often, which means the default modes are making some Squirrel buddies and exiling a player's graveyard

A damaged card can still fetch a handsome sum provided it's rare enough, but a general rule of thumb is that the higher a cards quality is, the higher the price you can ask

Great question

The drawback is severe, but the payoff is worth it against the decks that are forcing your hand
