What it does

Play with the top card of your library revealed.

As long as the top card of your library is black, this creature and other Vampire creatures you control get +2/+1 and have flying.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2009-10-01

    To work as an evasion ability, an attacking creature must already have flying when the declare blockers step begins. Once a creature has become blocked, giving it flying won't change that.

  • 2013-04-15

    When playing with the top card of your library revealed, if an effect tells you to draw several cards, reveal each one before you draw it.

  • 2013-04-15

    The top card of your library isn't in your hand, so you can't suspend it, cycle it, discard it, or activate any of its activated abilities.

  • 2013-04-15

    If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, the new top card won't be revealed until you finish doing so.

  • 2013-07-01

    If the top card of your library is black, Vampire Nocturnus will give itself +2/+1 and flying even if it's somehow not a Vampire.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Vampire Nocturnus

5 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Vampire Nocturnus — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
