About Blood Researcher

Blood Researcher, Creature — vampire druid, designed by Cristi Balanescu first released in Apr, 2021 in the set Strixhaven: School of Mages. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 56.34.

Blood Researcher would be a great addition to a Golgari midrange or vampire tribal deck in Magic: the Gathering, benefiting from its ability to grow stronger with each instance of life gain. However, there are potentially better cards for similar strategies, such as Vampire Nighthawk or Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet, which offer more immediate impact or utility. Blood Researcher could see play in a deck focused on life gain synergies, but its effectiveness may vary depending on the overall strategy and card pool available.

Rules

04/16/21

Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life gain event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, a “whenever you gain life” ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, and/or planeswalkers at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.

04/16/21

If you gain life at the same time Blood Researcher is dealt lethal damage, it dies before its ability can put a +1/+1 counter on it.
