Whispering Snitch

Surveil produced a great deal of incidental graveyard noise: most of its payoffs cared about cards landing in the bin, not about the act of looking. This Vampire Rogue takes the opposite read. It ignores what surveil does to your library entirely and rewards the trigger itself, turning the verb into a once-per-turn drain. The once-per-turn clause is the whole balance: surveil shows up in clusters (a cheap spell that surveils twice, a creature that surveils on attack), and without the limiter a deck flooded with surveil triggers would tick an opponent out absurdly fast. Capping it at the first surveil each turn keeps the 1/3 honest, a defensive frame that wants to sit back and accumulate pings while you stock the graveyard for everything else. Where it separates from a Bitterblossom-adjacent nibble is that the life swing and the damage come stapled together: in a slow, attrition-leaning shell, it does the work of a slow clock and a stabilizing lifedrain at once, off a resource (surveil) you were spending for card selection anyway. It is the rare payoff that asks for nothing extra. You were going to look ahead before drawing; this just bills the opponent for the privilege.
