Blood Seeker  doesn't help Bloodthirst. (a) Bloodthirst looks for damage, not life loss, and (b) Blood Seeker will normally trigger on your opponent's turn, not yours. Did you have some other card in mind?

If he attacked with both, when you only have one blocker, one will get through for damage activating bloodthirst. It is a little odd why he didn't do the Ogre though, I guess a 2/2 with First Strike you can block isn't going to deal as much as the 1/1 that pings you each time you cast a creature.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that Jeff. I loved Scab-Clan Mauler  ! I loved the bloodthirst, but I also loved that it had trample. When can we get some allies with bloodthirst?

Blood Seeker helps bloodthirst by attacking and dealing combat damage to the opponent.

Haha, you just know Bloodthirst is afraid of Trample. Trample can beat him up!

I assume the Griffin Sentinel guy was on the draw.
T2 the other guy has the blood seeker. Then the sentinel guy has no two drop, so he leaves his mana open.
T3 the other guy attacks with the blood seeker. Fearing a bloodthirst drop, sentinel guy incinerates the seeker. The other guy decides to play his ogre on to an empty board anyway so he can get damage in for his minotaurs next turn. However, the sentinel guy untaps and plays his griffin sentinel.

Dear god, Tom has caught Rosewater Abstract Anthropomorphization Syndrome. We're doomed.
My New Phyrexia Writing CreditsMy M12 Writing CreditsAs far as the benefit of the rest of Magic is concerned, gold cards in Legends were executed perfectly. They got all the excitement a designer could hope out of a splashy new mechanic without using up any of the valuable design space. Truly amazing.

I wonder what Bloodthirst would say if you could follow it on Twitter?
