Necromancy: Death and decay.
Sangromancy: Technically defined as blood magic, it also manipulates life force in some ways.
Lethemancy: This school is related to Blue Mind magic, but it is more focused on inflicting negative emotions and removing memories from opponents.
Umbramancy: The core school of Black magic, Umbramancy embodies the selfishness and ambition that is core to Black's personality. It is essentially Black "Elemental" magic, and demons are the signature creatures of this school.
Blood Seeker: Fair warning: there's going to be a lot of Sangromancy here, and this is our first example.
Bloodlord of Vaasgoth: This is the third vampire lord we've gotten in as many sets; it's getting kind of out of hand. Maybe they should cool it with the vampires a bit?
Bloodrage Vampire: I warned you that their would be a lot of Sangromancy, and the Bloodthirst mechanic is the reason.
Brink of Disaster: This feels like Umbramancy to me; it destroys things, but it doesn't rely on any of the other schools to do it.
Call to the Grave: Zombies means Necromancy!
Cemetary Reaper: Vampires get another new lord, while zombies have to rely on an old one? Kind of lame.
Consume Spirit: This is Sangromancy despite not manipulating blood.
Dark Favor: Umbramancy, this is essentially an updated version of Unholy Strength.
Devouring Swarm: This feels like it could fall under either Necromancy or Sangromancy. I'm leaning towards Necromancy because they tend to have more swarm type spells.
Distress: This art is SO GOOD. This is also a clear case of Lethemancy.
Drifting Shade: Shades are undead, thus this is Necromancy.
Duskhunter Bat: Sangromancy!
Hideous Visage: Mass Lethemancy.
Monomania: More Lethemancy!
Onyx Mage: This guy looks like an Necromancer to me!
Rune-Scarred Demon: This is the demon you call for advice on Diabolic Tutor, making it Umbramancy.
Sengir Vampire: Vampire = Sangromancy.
Smallpox: Plagues are Necromancy.
Sorin Markov: First two abilities are pure Sangromancy, but the third one... harder to say, but I would put it under Lethemancy.
Sorin's Thirst: Sangromancy!
Sorin's Vengeance: This is the most powerful example of Sangromancy we've ever seen!
Sutured Ghoul: Necromancy!
Taste of Blood: I feel like I don't need to explain why this is Sangromancy.
Tormented Soul: Necromancy!
Vampire Outcasts: I don't get the flavor of this particular bit of Sangromancy: why are they outcasts? They don't do anything unusual for vampires.
Vengeful Pharaoh: On the other hand, this Necromancy spell is a flavor home run.
Warpath Ghoul: Zombie, Necromancy, moving on.
Wring Flesh: This has the most cringe inducing art that I've seen in a while. I place this as Necromancy; essentially, Necromancy deals with flesh, Sangromancy with blood, Lethemancy with mind and Umbramancy with darkness.
Zombie Goliath: I can't help but thinking of Starcraft when I see the word goliath. Goliath online.
Zombie Infestation: Destroy the stairs, it's a zombie infestation!
