In the interest of constructive debate; I'm someone who isn't really vibing with the flavour of Blood tokens. But... I think it's less about what they do and more how they show up! Being on vampires is nice, but their creation is erratic. Some do it on death/damage/life loss, and that's great flavour. But, IMO, the ETB/spell casting/pay-5/keyword-soup blood makers undermine its debut. I would have enjoyed Gluttonous Guest and co in ModernHorizons-like set later had the introduction been tighter.

While there are many players like of yourself that enjoy the cleanliness of a mechanic when first introduced, there are a different group of players that really enjoy seeing a mechanic get put through its paces and explored in the variety of how it can work. We’re trying hard to make sure both groups can get cards they enjoy, but it’s difficult for the players to not to see the cards made for the other group.
