Sangromancer

An aggressor's reward stapled to a control payoff. The two triggers aim at opposite tables: opponent creatures dying off your removal and sacrifice effects, and opponent cards leaving hand off your discard spells. Either way the payment is the same flat three life, paid only when the opponent's resources are the ones being spent. That framing is the design's quiet discipline: this never gains life off your own attrition, only off pressure you apply to the other side, so the payoff scales with how thoroughly a deck grinds the opponent's board and hand to dust rather than how well it races or stabilizes on its own. The flying 3/3 body matters here, because the life is incidental ballast on a clock that closes games while the triggers stack up; it is not a defensive lifegain piece in the mold of a wall that sits back. Black has plenty of creatures that drain a fixed amount on a single condition, but few that split the payoff across two distinct vectors of disruption and ask the deck to fuel both. The result is a Vampire that turns an existing kill-and-discard plan into a slow life cushion, never the reason to build that plan, always the bonus for having built it.
