Bloodtithe Collector enters, makes an opponent sacrifice a creature or lose 3 life, and leaves you a 3/4 flier with lifelink — that's a removal spell stapled to a relevant body for five mana. Solid rate in black, and the flash gives it real ambush upside.

In Commander, Bloodtithe Collector earns its slot in vampire tribal builds and any black shell that values incidental drain — the sacrifice-or-3-life clause punishes opponents at low life totals and the flash timing lets you ambush attackers or respond to tutors at end of turn. Outside Commander, it's too slow for Modern and Pioneer, where five-mana sorcery-speed threats need to end the game, not trade one-for-one. Legacy and Vintage ignore it entirely. Standard is where it can find a second home, particularly in black midrange lists that want bodies and reach in the same package.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Bloodtithe Collector is deep bulk — you can pick up a playset for less than a dollar without hunting. Bulk rares at this utility level rarely climb unless a format shift pushes five-mana flash threats into relevance, so treat it as a free inclusion and move on.
