Depths' Final Toll
Abyssal Gorestalker is a compact, game altering finisher that rewards timing and board reading. Casting Abyssal Gorestalker for {4}{B}{B} drops a 6/6 Horror onto the battlefield and immediately forces each player to sacrifice two creatures. That symmetric disruption clears blockers, punishes overextension, and converts a crowded board into a one sided sweep when you have value creatures or recursion ready.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore the Gorestalker is a remnant of civilizations consumed by hunger. In play it performs the same function. Use it to reset stalled races for life totals, to enable a surprise alpha strike, or to clean up opposing token strategies. Practical play sees it best in decks with return effects, graveyard synergies, or a plan to rebuild after the purge.
