Nightdrinker Moroii
The Moroii name has always signaled the same bargain in the Vampire line: an oversized body sold below cost, with your own life total covering the difference. A 4/2 flier for four mana is an aggressive rate, and the three life you surrender on entry drops you exactly where a Vampire deck already wants to sit, low and looking to close. Disguise gives the card a second price tag, and paying it changes which halves of the creature you actually get. The face-down mode strips the flying and the life loss both, leaving a defended two-power body that holds the ground and hides which threat is underneath. The rules seam that makes this matter: turning a face-down creature face up is not an entry event, so the life-loss trigger only ever fires when you hard-cast the card the honest way. Route it through disguise and the toll is bypassed outright, not merely deferred. That splits the card into two genuinely different plays, the tempo deployment that costs you three life the instant it lands, and the concealed build that ducks the toll entirely, guards the investment with ward while it waits, and unmasks into evasion for two black at a moment of your choosing. The self-punishing beater and the clean, taxed threat are the same card seen through different doors, and you never pay both entry fees at once.
