Strefan, Maurer Progenitor
$0.54
$0.54Legendary Creature — Vampire Noble
Rakdos vampires that spread small life loss each turn for Blood tokens, then drop expensive vampires straight into combat.
Read more
Strefan is a 3/2 flier for four. At your end step it creates a Blood token for each player who lost life that turn, you included. When it attacks, you may sacrifice two Blood tokens to put a Vampire card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking, and it gains indestructible until end of turn. The deck pings everyone a little each turn, stockpiles Blood, then skips the mana cost on its biggest vampires.
In the recorded games, the attack trigger did most of the work, putting large vampires into combat a couple of times per game and building a board quickly. Patron of the Vein showed up as removal that also grew the vampire team. Several pilots ran versions close to the preconstructed list, which still developed steadily. The deck was weaker against fast or targeted pressure. When Strefan died early, or the table punished slow and expensive tribal starts, the Blood plan never got going. With only a handful of games recorded, these patterns are limited.
How it feels to play against
Mildly Annoying
Some frustrating moments but still fun.
