It hit the MTG banlist for Modern in 2011, not long after Scars of Mirrodin block released
In our Precon Review of Blood Rites , the Orzhov Vampire deck from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan , we saw that this deck has the makings of a strong aggro/Aristocrats deck, but needs a bit more focus
Thats because Reya Dawnbringer, in addition to a not too shabby 4/6 Power and Toughness (though you may be expecting more for such an expensive card), can bring one creature per turn back from your graveyard, returning it straight to your battlefield
Jaheiras Respite is the kind of late game blowout that helps to accelerate things toward a conclusion, and its honestly pretty strong

There are any number of brutal combos you can execute here, including using Spine of Ish Sah as removal and damage each turn, or using Scrap Trawlers effect in tandem with Foundry Inspector and Sculpting Steel to infinitely loop artifacts in and out of your graveyard
