The Baron's key weakness as a card is that he has to tap to use his ability, leaving him unable to attack and often block. Unfortunately, there are no equipment cards that grant vigilance at the moment (except for one, but it's a U/W colored artifact anyway.) If one is released, I suggest that it be used with the good Baron immediately.

"he amas.ses his legion to go through a mysterious Dwarven Gate hidden in his castle, which leads to an unknown extraplanar location."
Please let Il Barone be behind the new rise of vampires. Please.

beefy creature, cool abilities... but ultimately too expensive.

Looking for some lore? Here's a recap of his 20 right now, spoilaz ahead.
Dude terrorised Ulgrotha for ages, increasing the ranks in his vampire army exponentially over time. Serra was briefly in his plane until her lover, Feroz, passed on to better life. After her departure and Ihsan's transformation into a Shade, the Baron lost every opponent he had in his plane.
Now, he amasses his legion to go through a mysterious Dwarven Gate hidden in his castle, which leads to an unknown extraplanar location.

This is kind of like the "Alpha Shivan Dragon" of Homelands-- technically, not the best card in the set (honor goes to Merchant Scroll, which got freaking Restricted. Homelands is so proud :p), but DEFINITELY the one you want to open if you have actually for some reason bought a Homelands booster pack. Maybe you have a gambling addiction, lol.
He's a rare, he's a Legendary Vampire, and unlike the other 'notable Legends' of the set, he's...um...actually notable. There's a good chance that without him, Vampires would not have been taken seriously as a Tribe to really build on. Also helps that I remain convinced that Baron Sengir's story was at least in part inspired by the Ravenloft Campaign setting of D&D.

I wonder what happened to this guy. Considering his power (especially vs. the overall weakness of Homelands), he probably won and went on to conquer other planes. As for the card, he's a bit overcosted, but not badly so.
