Vampire Nighthawk

Description

The 2020 Magic: The Gathering Commander release features the Vampire Nighthawk trading card, identified by catalog number 140. This Black creature card serves as a foundational piece for collectors and players interested in the Vampire Shaman archetype within the Magic: The Gathering universe. Designed with a mana cost of three generic and two black mana, the card offers a balance of offense and defense with a power and toughness rating of 2/3. Collectors value this card for its robust suite of keywords that enhance gameplay utility. The inclusion of Flying allows the creature to evade ground-based blockers, while Deathtouch ensures that any damage dealt to opposing creatures is sufficient to destroy them. Additionally, Lifelink provides a strategic advantage by allowing the controller to gain life equal to the damage dealt, sustaining resources during matches. The card was illustrated by Jason Chan, whose artwork complements the dark aesthetic of the Black mana color identity. For enthusiasts building collections around the Commander format, this print from the 2020 set represents a distinct era of Magic: The Gathering design. It appeals to those seeking to complete their Commander series holdings or those who appreciate the mechanical synergy of its abilities. Whether used in casual play or traded among hobbyists, the Vampire Nighthawk remains a recognizable and functional component of the broader Magic: The Gathering catalog.
