Voldaren Bloodcaster // Bloodbat Summoner is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Flying Whenever this creature or another nontoken creature you control dies, create a Blood token. (It's an artifact with "{1}, {T}, Discard a card, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.") Whenever you create a Blood token, if you control five or more Blood tokens, transform this creature. Flying At the beginning of combat on your turn, up to one target Blood token you control becomes a 2/2 black Bat creature with flying and haste in addition to its other types.

How it works : Voldaren Bloodcaster // Bloodbat Summoner

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Voldaren Bloodcaster’s last ability checks how many Blood tokens you have both as it triggers and as it resolves. If you don’t control at least five Blood tokens at both of those times, it won’t transform.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If an effect refers to a Blood token, it means any artifact token with the subtype Blood, even if it has gained other subtypes.

    Card named in this ruling

    BloodBlood
  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    You can't sacrifice a Blood token to pay multiple costs.

    Card named in this ruling

    BloodBlood
  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Some triggered abilities trigger "whenever you sacrifice a Blood token." These abilities trigger regardless of why you sacrificed that Blood token.

    Card named in this ruling

    BloodBlood
  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Blood tokens that become Bats with Bloodbat Summoner’s ability are still Blood artifact tokens and still have “{1}, {T}, Discard a card, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.”
