Valentin, Dean of the Vein // Lisette, Dean of the Root

Description

Valentin, Dean of the Vein // Lisette, Dean of the Root (STX-161) is a legendary double-faced creature from Strixhaven that flips between a 1/1 vampire warlock with menace and lifelink and a 4/4 human druid on its back. Valentin replaces opponents’ nontoken creature deaths with exile and can trigger a paid ability to create 1/1 Pest tokens when that replacement causes exile. Lisette grants a triggered ability that lets you pay to distribute +1/+1 counters and give trample to all your creatures whenever you gain life, supporting lifegain synergies and wide board strategies.
