New Blood, Sorcery, designed by Howard Lyon first released in Aug, 2017 in the set Commander 2017 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Duel Commander.
This card, New Blood, would be a great addition to a Vampire tribal deck in Magic: the Gathering. It can provide a powerful control element by allowing you to take control of an opponent's creature and turn it into a Vampire, potentially synergizing with other Vampire-related cards in your deck. While there may be other cards with similar effects, New Blood's unique ability to change the creature type to Vampire sets it apart and makes it a strong contender for inclusion in the right deck.

New Blood’s effect changes only the text printed on the creature. It can’t change words found in abilities it’s been granted. For example, if you change Rat to Vampire on Hungry Lynx, your Cats will have protection from Vampires; but if instead you change Rat to Vampire on Phantom Nishoba while you control a Hungry Lynx, Phantom Nishoba will have protection from Rats.

To pay the additional cost of New Blood, you may tap any untapped Vampire you control, including one you haven’t controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn. (Note that tapping the creature doesn’t use [the tap symbol].)

You choose what word you’re changing as New Blood resolves. You don’t have to choose a word that appears in the creature’s text.

You must choose an existing creature type, such as Vampire or Cat. Card types such as “artifact” can’t be chosen.
