  • Some triggered abilities trigger "whenever you sacrifice a Blood token." These abilities trigger regardless of why you sacrificed that Blood token.
  • Only Blood tokens controlled by the player Bloodvial Purveyor is attacking or the controller of the planeswalker it's attacking are counted to determine the bonus from its last ability.
