Read the Winds!

Why is this card not more popular? It costs a blood but it it lets you not tap for blocking or lets you untap, with +1 intercept. Is it the do not replace clause?

With the popularity of Eyes of Argus, i wonder why I don't see more RtW played.

Do not replace until after this action.
+1 intercept. This vampire doesn't tap for successfully blocking this action.
Only usable by a tapped vampire. This vampire untaps and attempts to block with +1 intercept, even if intercept is not yet needed.

Actually, I really don't know why. Maybe the tzim are now out of fashion ? Most people don't combine ANI and AUS to intercept because it somewhat feels redundant ?

With the advent of sense the savage way, maybe players forgot how good thus card is ?

Since I want to promote this card, it will be prominent in my next deck, I swear

Because it costs blood to get a result that can be duplicated without the blood cost.

That said, I think most ani+aus deck can afford to play one or two copies.

Because Goratrix is not played nearly enough.
