Bloodghast — Eternal Ambusher
Bloodghast returns every match a careful graveyard builder will note. This two one Vampire Spirit slips through combat since it cannot block and gains haste when an opponent is at ten life or less, so it reads both as an aggressive recur threat and a reliable late game attacker. The landfall trigger lets you rebuild board presence simply by playing lands and rewards steady mana development with repeated reanimation.
On a practical table level the card excels in decks that fetch lands or play extra land drops. It pairs cleanly with sacrifice outlets and graveyard recursion pieces because it needs no mana to return. In lore terms Bloodghast embodies Ixalans old hunger it clings to terrain and rises whenever the earth itself is turned by a desperate hand.
