mtg innistrad crimson vow card list Innistrad: Commander Decklists Welcoming Vampire | Innistrad: Crimson

Ideally I want to have reasons to play the card as well as ways to put it to use when casting it doesn't do anything

My final advice would be: use the basic frame structure as a constraint (limitation breeds creativity, Mark Rosewater says), and if needed work from there to create new details that are really meaningful for the game, and be more careful not to create more noise

Then you can tap it at sorcery speed with a mana to give another dork +1/+1 counters equal to your life gained or lost this turn

Cards like Knight of Autumn or Shardless Agent become repeatable sources of value

I just hope that Korlag manages to stay safe, because he must be protected at all costs
