Shadowstep the Board with Grim Wanderer
Grim Wanderer emerges from the shadows with a chilling presence that only the most cunning players will appreciate. This Goblin Warlock slips onto the battlefield with flash, allowing you to respond to your opponent’s plays or surprise them at the end of their turn. Its Tragic Backstory mechanic demands a grim price — it can only be cast if a creature has died this turn — but rewards you handsomely with a solid 5 power and 3 toughness footprint, making it a formidable threat that presses your advantage after combat or board wipes.
Pair Grim Wanderer with sacrifice outlets or removal spells to reliably trigger its casting condition and leverage its aggressive stats for immediate impact. The card’s synergy with recurring creatures or death triggers, like those found in black’s midrange and value archetypes, creates a resilient tempo play that opponents must answer swiftly or face a mounting board presence. The foil finish adds a subtle shimmer to the dark palette of the card, making it a collector’s gem or a striking addition to any black deck.
