How about putting it on Vampire Aristocrat, then you get +4/+4 until end of turn for each creature sac-ed, and half is counters

I have 1 of these bad a** blades in each of my vampire decks. These are hands down one of the best equipments ever. My decks are both vintage set up, but can easily be made legacy legal if need be. Putting the Blade of the Bloodchief on the Baron Sengir: PRICELESS!!!!!!

Plain awesomeness in vampire decks. It's decent without Vampires too.

Drop one of these on a Goblin Sharpshooter along with a Basilisk Collar. And watch the chaos ensue.

This card works really well on virtually the entire Vampire tribe, but is particularly devastating on anything with evasion.
Has some nice synergy with Anowon, the Ruin Sage since he decimates opposing creatures and needs protection to get out of Bolt range.
Probably most commonly seen on Malakir Bloodwitch.
4/5

It's rarity status adds another blank in my box, it needs to give Vampires +2/+2 and something else to be considered as Vampire aggro doesn't like equips to begin with.

Only seems good in limited. And even then... kinda eh. Feels more like an aura than equipment, in how when the creature dies, the bonus leaves.

this is not so much good for vampires as monoblack control, because they have more removal

it is not that useful with persist as a +1/+1 counter does not remove a -1/-1 counter, you would have to use another card to remove them. for what you described you would be better off with dross scorpian, power conduit and making an artifact creature have persist, kill the persisting artifact creature with the "free-sac" you mentioned which untaps the power conduit due to the scorpian's effect, the persisting artifact creature comes back and its counter gets removed by the conduit and turned into a +1/+1 or charge counter. but Blade of the Bloodchief has almost no bonus with persist besides you can kill the creature twice rather then only once.

Is it just me, or is this epic with Birthing Pod?
