Sengir Vampire

Description

The Sengir Vampire, identified as card number 160, was released in 1995 as part of the Fourth Edition set for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by artist Anson Maddocks, this uncommon black creature serves as a formidable presence in the trading card game due to its unique mechanics. With a mana cost of five and a base power and toughness of 4/4, the card possesses the flying ability, allowing it to bypass blockers unless they also have flying or reach. Beyond its aerial advantage, the Sengir Vampire offers strategic depth through its triggered ability: whenever a creature dealt damage by this vampire dies, it receives a +1/+1 counter. This mechanic allows the card to evolve during a game, becoming increasingly difficult to remove as combat progresses. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek this print for its iconic design and enduring gameplay utility. The Fourth Edition release remains a cornerstone for enthusiasts building collections of classic black cards. For those interested in the history of the franchise, this product represents a significant era in the development of vampire-themed creatures in the game.
