Tithe Drinker

Description

Tithe Drinker is a two-mana Vampire creature from Magic: The Gathering’s 2019 The List release, cataloged as card number C17-200. Designed as a Common rarity card, it offers a dual-color identity of White and Black, making it a versatile addition to mono-color or multi-color decks that seek efficient early-game interaction. The card’s strategic value stems from its two distinct abilities: Lifelink and Extort. Lifelink ensures that any damage dealt by Tithe Drinker also causes its controller to gain an equal amount of life, providing a built-in defensive buffer against aggressive strategies. Extort adds a layer of proactive value, allowing players to pay a mana cost of either White or Black whenever they cast a spell. When triggered, this ability forces each opponent to lose 1 life while the controller gains 1 life, effectively turning every spell cast into a potential resource gain or life swing. While Tithe Drinker itself is not a rare or foil variant, its presence in The List makes it a distinct piece of MTG history for those who track set-specific releases. Collectors often seek out cards from The List to complete their set collections or to appreciate the specific printings included in that year’s distribution. Whether you are building a deck around life gain or simply expanding your Magic: The Gathering catalog, Tithe Drinker represents a solid, functional piece of the 2019 The List subset. Its straightforward mechanics and iconic creature type make it a recognizable and appreciated card among the broader MTG community.
