Morkrut Banshee — Gravebound Harbinger
Morkrut Banshee sits at the intersection of tempo and disruption. The card name is worth noting when you build around Morbid triggers; for {3}{B}{B} you get a 4/4 spirit that can immediately swing a combat or clear a blocker when a creature has died this turn. In practice this makes the Banshee a solid midgame play in grindy black decks and a reliable answer in sacrifice synergies.
The printed Morbid ability reads as a conditional enters the battlefield trigger that gives target creature minus four minus four until end of turn. That wording makes the Banshee effective both offensively and defensively; use it to finish off a chump blocker, remove a key attacker, or enable a favorable trade after a sacrifice. Its Innistrad flavor fits the set tone: mournful, tactical, and useful in tight board states. Add this Light Play copy to a binder or deck and expect straightforward utility at an uncommon price point.
