Paladin of the Bloodstained enters and creates a 1/1 Vampire token alongside itself — four power and four toughness split across two bodies for four mana. That rate is replaceable in most formats, but in token-doubling or aristocrats shells it earns its slot.

In Commander, Paladin of the Bloodstained is a solid role-player in Vampire tribal decks and any aristocrats list that needs cheap token production at the four-drop slot. Outside Commander, it's legal in Pauper, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, and Vintage, but it sees essentially no competitive play in any of those formats — the rate simply doesn't compete at non-rotating power levels. Pauper is the closest it gets to relevance, where common-only card pools make a two-body four-drop more defensible, but even there dedicated token strategies have better options.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Paladin of the Bloodstained is bulk in every sense — you're paying for cardboard, not scarcity. There's no meaningful price floor to speak of, so grab copies from a bulk bin rather than a single order.
