I am pretty new to MTG, and had a question about how this would work with Eldrazi Spawn. If you sac the spawn, does the vamp get +2/+2 and also the mana from the spawn?

@PlankEyeWilly I was wondering the same thing. "I am pretty new to MTG, and had a question about how this would work with Eldrazi Spawn. If you sac the spawn, does the vamp get +2/+2 and also the mana from the spawn?"
Or if you had 2 Bloodthrone Vampires out, would it boost both of them? Or count for Viscera Seer?
Does anyone know?

@PlankEyeWilly and Kankui.
No, you would not recieve the benefits from both the spawn and the Bloodthrone Vampire, since each has an activation cost. One paid activation (sac the spawn) would give one Vampire +2/+2, or you could sac the spawn to give 1 colorless, not both.
If you have 2 Bloodthrones out, only one would recieve the benefit, as you would activate only one of thier abilities when you sac the spawn.

Can you use the ability more than once at the same time? or can u only do it once?

I Am Currently Building A Deck That Uses Bloodthrone Vampire, Pawn Of Ulamog, And Blade Of The Bloodchief To Do A Considerable Amount Of Damage If I Can Get The Vampire Through. Basically With The Blade Equiped And The Counters Which Are Generated By Pawn Of Ulamog, I Can Sacrafice A Creature And Sacrafice The Counter Giving Bloodthrone a Total of +8/+8. With a Second Creature to Sacrafice Available, And Therefore Another Counter, Bloodthrone Gets +16/+16 On My Fourth Turn Of the Game If This All Goes Right.

I don't understand why this doesn't have a class creature type. What's wrong with Rogue, or Warrior?

*Facepalm* @Kankui:
If you give me $1, and I offer you either a $1 Coke, or a $1 Sprite, then you can't have both. The same logic applies to sacrificing creatures. One instance of "Sacrifice a creature" applied to a creature means that creature is gone, and just like your $1, can't be used to pay another "Sacrifice a creature" instance.
Also, am I the only one noticing this:
RoE rotates out in Sept. 2011.
M11 rotates out in Sept. 2011.
Why the 'eff did they reprint this!? I understand for limited, but that just seems really weird... Could've used it for a better M11 card possibility IMO.

Mortician Beetle is this girl's pet. She had to put down poor Scarland Thrinax when he rotated out last October.

Love the art and flavour text, the fact that it is playable makes it all the more awesome.
