Echo in the Gloom
Chupacabra Echo is a tight, efficient tool for black decks that lean into the graveyard. With a casting cost of {2}{B}{B} and a 3/2 body, it arrives and immediately leverages your permanents in the graveyard to shrink an opposing threat. The name signals an effect that reflects your board state back at the table; the more permanents you have tucked away, the larger the penalty you can deal to a single creature.
As a Creature — Beast Horror Spirit, Chupacabra Echo fits cleanly into sacrifice and attrition strategies. It works well with discard, self mill, and token decks where permanents routinely end up in the graveyard. Play it on curve to clear a blocker or to trim a large attacker before combat. The printed ability scales naturally with deck construction so consider pairing it with cards that reliably populate your graveyard.
