Haunted Dead — Persistent Graveyard Engine
Haunted Dead brings dependable reanimation to black decks on Innistrad where recursion matters more than spectacle. This 2/2 Zombie enters and immediately generates a 1/1 white Spirit with flying, offering a surprise aerial blocker or chip damage while the main body threatens value from the graveyard. The card fits into midrange, sacrifice, and dredge style builds that expect to leverage recurring threats and graveyard interaction.
The printed recursion cost is straightforward and efficient. For {1}{B} and two cards discarded you return Haunted Dead from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped, making it a repeatable threat provided you have discard outlets or card filtering. This Light Play copy is a practical addition for collectors and playsets alike, pairing well with discard synergies and Spirit tribal subthemes. Add it if you want compact, reliable recursion that spins every graveyard into continued pressure.
