Bloodghast Returns
Bloodghast from Aetherdrift is a compact aggressor that punishes slow defenses and rewards landfall plays. The card reads like a build around piece for decks that can repeatedly trigger lands or fetch lands, and its printed text gives clear lines of play: it cannot block, it gains haste when opponents are low on life, and it can reenter the battlefield from your graveyard whenever a land you control enters. As a near mint English rare this copy is ready for play, sideboards or Commander tables where recurring threats matter.
Play patterns center on leveraging the Landfall return to grind value and applying early pressure with a 2 1 body that often comes back the turn you lose it. The haste clause makes it relevant in finishing lines once an opponent is under ten life. For players who run fetch lands, ramp, or bounce effects, Bloodghast turns ordinary land drops into recurring tempo. Add it to black aggro, reanimator builds, or any list that values efficient recursion and consistent battlefield presence.
