What it does
Lifelink
No guilds—that is her rule. The House vampires unnerve her. The Combine would dissect her, the Legion burn her, the Conclave "cure" her. The shadows are all the family she needs.

Where it came from
Child of Night was originally introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the Core Set 2010. It was designed as a common creature card, serving as a functional 'bear'—a low-cost creature with balanced power and toughness—while introducing the lifelink mechanic to newer players in a straightforward, accessible manner. The card draws on classic gothic horror tropes, depicting a vampire that gains life for its controller, which aligns with the dark aesthetic often explored in the game's black-aligned sets.
The Jumpstart version, numbered 218, features an illustration by the artist Johann Bodin. This iteration was released in 2020 as part of a product designed specifically to facilitate randomized, pick-up-and-play drafting experiences. The art style emphasizes the menacing yet elegant nature of the creature, fitting into the 'Vampire' themed deck of the Jumpstart set. Upon its release, the card was received as a reliable, foundational piece for limited play environments, valued primarily for its efficiency and clear mechanical utility.
