Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast (WotC) and Mark Rosewater, check out a rare Vampire from Innistrad: Crimson Vow — Falkenrath Forebear!
Falkenrath Forebear is the latest in a long line of black creatures that can’t block and are able to return to the battlefield if certain conditions are met.
Flying
Falkenrath Forebear can’t block.
Whenever Falkenrath Forebear deals combat damage to a player, create a Blood token.
B, Sacrifice two Blood tokens: Return Falkenrath Forebear from your graveyard to the battlefield.
This time we have a 3/1 flyer that can’t block for three mana, but pays you off for hitting a player by generating Blood tokens. And you’re going to need those Blood tokens if you plan on recurring Falkenrath Forebear. Of course, other cards can create Blood tokens as well, so there will be some other cards you can play that will synergize with this new rare Vampire.
What do you think of Falkenrath Forebear? Will it be a lynchpin in an aggressive Vampire deck or another role player for casual Vampire decks?
Innistrad: Crimson Vow is currently scheduled for release on November 19. View our official preview gallery.
