Rip, Spawn Hunter — Quiet Predation
Rip, Spawn Hunter operates like a compact engine in black decks that lean into creature value. The card trades raw power for repeatable board presence: Rip’s combat damage ability builds an army of 1 1 Spawn tokens while menace makes it hard to block cleanly. Use Rip as a beatdown piece to force through damage early and then leverage the tokens as sacrifice fodder or chump blockers later in the game.
In lore Rip stalks corridors where the boundary between hunter and hunted blurs, which matches Duskmourn’s house of thin lights and darker intents. Players familiar with token synergies will find Rip slots neatly into aristocrat shells, sacrifice decks and decks that scale off many bodies on the board. Play it on curve, protect it when you can, and turn the steady token stream into incremental advantage.
