It could of pretty much just said "Protection from removal."
I admit Red has burn, but other than Lightning Bolt (which doesn't kill this guy) there's not much that's commonly played that could take him out.

If he becomes played, either Mortars will be more common, or possibly Turn//Burn might be played. Krasis Incubation is also a good potential answer.

I've had multiple games where I Was at one life and my opponent was at 20 or more and I ended up winning. Mostly playing mono-red "control" but this is the beauty of Magic... anything can happen.

You know, I've been thinking. Why Blood Baron of Vizkopa, not say, Orzhova, or Utvara, or whatever?
Well, because of Vizkopa Guildmage.
You got him to a 10/10 with extort! Good job. You swiiing aaaaand Ornithopter token.
NICE.
With Vizkopa Guildmage (second ability) when you swing, it's an instant win.
If they block, you gain that life, so they lose.
But if they don't, they lose anyways.
GG.
Also, this is a sweet card. Practically can only be removed by burn or Blue's stalling techniques.

The conditions are hard to meet, but lifelink and some fantastic protections make this guy worth it before they're met too. He has a lot of potential, I'm interested to see if he'll see play along with all the other really good 5 drops.

Another nice target for Heartless Summoning, to get the lifelinking goodness started two turns faster. Plus, "Blood Baron"? That is pimp.

5/5 for the art. Finally, a Magic card that looks like a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure villain.

Whoops I was tired as hell when I wrote that but there is still money in the banana stand (Heartless Summoning, Mask of Avacyn, Heavy Mattock and Bladed Bracers).

This is the textbook definition of a "win more" card. That being said, a 5-mana 4/4 with lifelink and protection from two colors is definitely a win card.
