Susurian Voidborn
The aristocrat drain effect has always charged the same toll: your permanents have to actually die, and the payoff arrives one point at a time. Warp is what this design bolts onto that toll, and the interaction is sharper than the 2/2 body lets on. Pay a single black and the drain trigger lands early: any creature or artifact you sacrifice or lose in combat before end-of-turn exile pings an opponent for one and gains you one, and the Voidborn itself counts if it dies before the exile happens. The tension is between wanting the drain online now and wanting a body that sticks, and warp lets a player split the difference: rent the death engine cheaply this turn, exile it at end step, then recommit the full three mana on a later turn once the graveyard machine has more to feed. It slots into any shell built around expendable bodies and sacrifice outlets, where trading small creatures for incremental life-swing decides the games that grind. The Vampire Soldier line is flavor over function: this is a modular aristocrat piece that arrives early, drains while things die, vanishes, and returns when the board is ready to pay the toll again.
