@ LorenDorky....it's not her first expansion...its her first expansion without her partner, Jana Schirmer, but the artist did also work on cards like Angelic Destiny, Sorin's Vengeance and Thalia, Guardian of Thraben

Getting rid of a creature and getting it's ability is great and all, but just getting rid of another pesky creature is nice enough.
Though, imagine this guy trying to "impersonate" some of the Eldrazi.
We need funny fanart people!

The flavour on this card is so utterly fantastic. The fact that the creature is exiled is brilliant - not only is it killed and most likely exsanguinated, but the body is hidden is some deep dark place and never recovered. No funerals, no closure, no grave to visit and pay your respects. They are simply gone forever, and nobody knows where or why. The ambiguity is probably worse than the death.
What's worse, the victim's family likely won't even know that they're missing, since the imposter is still walking around with their identity. You could just imagine that the next move this evil vampire will make is to go and join the family, wreaking psychological havoc on them and perhaps picking them off one by one. There's a horror story there all of its own, and if anyone here is a fan of psychological horror films like The Thing, you'll know just how awesome and scary films are where the monster is wearing your friend's face and you can't even tell the difference. And the utter lack of em... (see all)

Reminds me of the flavour text on the old door to nothingness:
"All memory of your existence will be wiped from reality. You will die, and no one will mourn."
—Memnarch
As for the card, absolutely amazing- I run it in a sedris, the traitor king combo Edh, and I managed to get out the pili-pala grand architect combo. I had this guy sitting in play from before thanks to his low cmc, and as soon as the mana came up I proceeded to exile all my opponent's fields. What's better is when they thought they could stop my mana combo with some stupid spot removal (path to exile), I just used this guy to nom both my creatures. Yup. Activated ability combo. Inside it.
The best feeling for a timmy besides a hellkite overlord with a grafted exoskeleton, is this thing with 8 counters and the ability to make infinite coloured mana on its own and exile anything you want.

Lorendorky, I see enough of "thumbs begging" from Youtube commenters, and you have the nerve to bring it onto this sacred site?

Like this comment if you want more art from Johannes Voss.
Being able to use his ability at any time is nuts. No restrictions on it at all.
Edit: not looking for top comment, rather looking for the artist to get recognized to submit more art. This is his first expansion with art in it.

This is what you do with your Blood Artist. You exile your blood artist, and then alternate between exiling creatures for counters/abilities and killing them to activate Blood Artist.
