Marauding Blight-Priest

The engine that turns incidental lifegain into a clock. Lifegain-matters decks have long faced the same problem: the life total climbing is defensive, and the payoffs that convert it into offense tend to be slow or expensive. This flips a passive gain into a symmetric drain, where every trigger simultaneously stabilizes you and taxes each opponent. The design lineage runs straight through Sanguine Bond and Vizkopa Guildmage, cards that pair with lifegain to close games; the difference here is the aggressive body and the cheaper cost, which reframe the effect from a combo half into a curve creature. What holds it in check is that it does nothing to your own life total: it only fires off gains you generate elsewhere, so the card is inert without a source of triggers to feed it. Stacking those triggers is what makes it dangerous, since a modest lifelink attacker or a Soul Warden effect suddenly reads as reach every opponent has to answer. The 3/2 frame matters too: it can pressure a board on its own while the ability quietly builds a second axis of damage, so it is never a pure do-nothing enchantment-on-legs waiting for the rest of the deck to show up.
