Vampire Nocturnus

{1}{B}{B}{B}Creature — Vampire3/3

Play with the top card of your library revealed.

As long as the top card of your library is black, this creature and other Vampire creatures you control get +2/+1 and have flying.

Official rulings

  1. To work as an evasion ability, an attacking creature must already have flying when the declare blockers step begins. Once a creature has become blocked, giving it flying won't change that. (2009-10-01)
  2. When playing with the top card of your library revealed, if an effect tells you to draw several cards, reveal each one before you draw it. (2013-04-15)
  3. The top card of your library isn't in your hand, so you can't suspend it, cycle it, discard it, or activate any of its activated abilities. (2013-04-15)
  4. If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, the new top card won't be revealed until you finish doing so. (2013-04-15)
  5. If the top card of your library is black, Vampire Nocturnus will give itself +2/+1 and flying even if it's somehow not a Vampire. (2013-07-01)
