Vampirism card art
Vampirism turns any creature into a temporary giant by donating its power and toughness to a target — the host creature becomes a 1/1, and the enchanted creature inherits those stats until end of turn. The catch is that Atzocan Archer effect: the donor shrinks, so you're trading one creature's combat relevance for another's, not generating free value.

Vampirism is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander it's a curiosity — temporarily pumping one creature by gutting another rarely generates the board impact a four-player game demands, and the effect doesn't stick past the turn. Legacy and Vintage have access to far more efficient pump and aura options, so Vampirism doesn't make the cut there either. It's a card for niche combo applications or intentionally themed builds, not a staple in any format.

Pricing data for Vampirism isn't currently available, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for a live number. Given its minimal competitive footprint, it typically falls in bulk-rare or low-singles territory — worth picking up cheaply if a specific combo or theme calls for it, but not a card to chase.
