Stalactite Stalker (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Silent Cavern Prowler

Stalactite Stalker is a compact black one drop that earns its place in aggressive and sacrifice shells. As a 1/1 Goblin Rogue with menace it trades favorably in combat when you pressure life totals early. The end step growth trigger rewards decks that descend during the turn and turns a temporary attacker into a recurring threat on the back half of the turn.

Its sacrifice outlet converts that built up power into a removal tool that scales with its current size. Use cheap self mill or controlled sacrifice to reliably descend and inflate Stalactite Stalker before sacrificing it for a selective board answer. The card fits neatly into Lost Caverns themes of graveyard play and tight, efficient interaction.
