Creature — Vampire Rogue
At the beginning of your end step, if an opponent lost life this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target Vampire you control.
With House Voldaren ascendant, some members of the Stromkirk line took it upon themselves to "borrow" from the blood tithes.

Ruling (1)
- Stromkirk Bloodthief's ability cares whether an opponent lost life this turn, not how their life total changed. For example, an opponent who gained 2 life and lost 1 life in the same turn still lost life.
