Vampires' Vengeance

A red sweeper that spares your own tribe is an old idea; bolting a card-selection engine onto the same slot is the new wrinkle. The 2 damage is a familiar early clear: enough to sweep the mana dorks, one-drops, and token swarms that clog a board, but tuned so a Vampire deck can fire it into its own side and lose nothing. The Blood token is what pulls the spell past pure attrition, converting it into a stored loot: a rummage held on layaway that turns a dead land or a spent removal spell into a fresh draw two or three turns later. That same token feeds the sacrifice and Blood-matters engines it was built alongside, so the card that stabilizes a board also quietly advances the deck's longer plan. The catch is that the exemption only pays off when your creatures are actually Vampires; outside a dedicated build, this is a conditional two-damage sweep stapled to a slow rummage. Inside one, it is a rare piece of removal that never costs you tempo and rebuilds your hand while it clears theirs.
