Cards that make Blood tokens

A Blood token is an artifact you sacrifice, paying 1 mana and discarding a card, to draw a card. Here are 33 Commander-legal cards that make them.

What these cards do

A Blood token is a colorless artifact token with "{1}, {T}, Discard a card, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card." Each one is a later chance to trade a card you don't want for a new one, so Blood turns extra lands and dead cards into fresh draws.

Many Blood makers are black and red Vampires. Some make Blood when they enter, some when they deal combat damage or when a creature dies, and a few on demand, like Transmutation Font. Payoffs such as Anje, Maid of Dishonor and Strefan, Maurer Progenitor sacrifice Blood for life drain or to cheat a Vampire into play.

Rules note: discarding a card and sacrificing the token are costs, paid as you activate the ability, so you need a card in hand to use a Blood token, and the costs stay paid even if the ability is countered.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Blood token do in MTG?

A Blood token is a colorless Blood artifact token with "{1}, {T}, Discard a card, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card." (rule 111.10g). It trades a card you don't want for the top card of your library, one token at a time. Blood is an artifact type (rule 205.3g), so cards that count or sacrifice artifacts count Blood tokens too.

Can I use a Blood token with an empty hand?

No. Discarding a card is part of the token's activation cost, and a player can't pay a cost without the resources to pay it fully (rule 118.3). Draw or keep a card first, then pay {1}, tap the token, discard and sacrifice it to draw. If the ability is countered, the discarded card and the sacrificed token don't come back (rule 701.6b).

Does sacrificing a Blood token count as a sacrifice?

Yes. Sacrificing moves the token from the battlefield to its owner's graveyard (rule 701.21a), where it then ceases to exist (rule 704.5d), so abilities that trigger when you sacrifice a Blood token, such as Gluttonous Guest's life gain, see it.

Which cards make the most Blood tokens?

Jaws, Relentless Predator makes one for each point of combat damage it deals to a player; Odric, Blood-Cursed makes one for each of twelve keyword abilities among your creatures; Shilgengar, Sire of Famine makes as many as a sacrificed Angel's toughness; and Arterial Alchemy makes one for each opponent when it enters. Each of them makes the same predefined Blood token (rule 111.10g).
