Gore from the Deep
Abyssal Gorestalker rewards careful deckbuilding and timing. The card Abyssal Gorestalker is a heavy hitter at six power and toughness and a casting cost of {4}{B}{B}. When it arrives it enforces a board reset by forcing each player to sacrifice two creatures, which can swing parity in your favor if you plan around it. Playing it after you have cleared token piles or after an opponent has overextended converts a symmetrical effect into a decisive advantage.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore this Horror embodies a slow hunger that consumes communities. In gameplay it asks for discipline. Hold removal or a sacrifice outlet to keep value, or use it as a tempo play to prune opposing blockers and push damage through. For a player who reads the stack and counts creature parity, Abyssal Gorestalker becomes a compact engine for control and finishing damage.
