Stalactite Stalker: Caveside Ambusher
Stalactite Stalker is a compact threat that rewards a down tempo approach and careful board timing. The card reads like a toolkit for incremental advantage; menace makes evasion routine while the end step trigger turns a single descent into a growing threat. In practice the Stalactite Stalker pairs well with effects that let you descend reliably or that protect a lone attacker so it can rack up counters.
The sacrifice ability converts that accrued power into a removal pulse that scales with the creature. Use it as a one card answer to larger creatures or as a finishing push when your board looks stalled. This extended art foil from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan keeps the original printed text intact and fits cleanly into aggressive rogue builds or toolbox black shells.
