He wouldn't keep the Vampire untapped to block, he'd just be attacking with the Vampire. Hell, even if you had two 2/2s, I still wouldn't keep the Vampire untapped to block if I were your opponent.

but if you were an opponent, wouldnt you skip attacking one turn just to kill the priest for no loss to yourself but missing one attack? He can start attacking the turn after, right?

well, it looks like I have a lot to learn anyway. If he keeps attacking and I have 2/2 times 2, isnt he losing that race?


my god this must be excruciatingly painful for you to put up with reading Andy, I admire your patience!

No, because if he doesn't attack, then you won't (shouldn't!) attack with your Priest. You'd love that outcome, because then he's not gaining life or dealing damage with the Nighthawk.

No, the race is even at that point, because his Vampire Nighthawk has lifelink. Since he also has a Tormented Soul, he's winning the race, so it's in his interest to make the race go as quickly as possible, i.e. trading 3 damage to you for 2 damage to himself, vs. not attacking with the Nighthawk and trading 1 damage to you for 0 damage to himself. Trading 3 for 2 means that the game is over in fewer turns, which means you have less time to turn things around, whereas trading 1 for 0, while he would also technically win that race, would give you 20 turns to find a way to change things.

I'm in heaven answering these questions, by the way, so no, I don't mind at all!

Edit: added a little extra info.

ah, fuck yeah Im typing after the fact, I forgot that fucker had lifelink as well
and yes, of course, aarrghh, to block he leaves it untapped, it he leaves it untapped, Im not attacking. so then its like a status quo. gotcha


at this point I'm just waiting for these bloody intro decks to get here, until then I am going to jot down some notes on the play steps and swot on keywords so I can better prepare the missus!
