Character Background
Crossway Troublemakers is a six‑mana 5/5 Vampire that turns your attacking vampires into lethal trade engines by granting deathtouch and lifelink, and it converts the deaths of your vampires into card advantage by letting you pay 2 life to draw. It best supports a midrange/value tribal plan that wins through incremental combat advantages and recurring tempo: you push through damage with evasive attackers while each death replaces resources. Deckbuilding tip: run cheap sacrifice outlets such as Viscera Seer or Phyrexian Altar and multiple small Vampires or token generators so you can repeatedly cash creatures for cards and trigger lifegain to offset the 2‑life cost. It also pairs dangerously well with life‑synergy cards (Sanguine Bond or Alhammarret’s Archive) if you want a drain angle. Keep removal and recursion to protect Troublemakers—it’s a late‑game engine, so smooth mana and a critical mass of vampires make it shine.
