About Abyssal Nightstalker

Abyssal Nightstalker, Creature — nightstalker, designed by Sam Wood first released in Jun, 1998 in the set Portal Second Age. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.87.

Abyssal Nightstalker would be a good fit for a deck focused on disrupting your opponent's hand size and resources, such as a discard or control deck. Its ability to make the defending player discard a card when it attacks and isn't blocked can help you maintain card advantage and disrupt your opponent's strategy. However, there are more powerful cards available in Magic: the Gathering that offer similar effects with potentially greater impact, such as Liliana's Specter or Hypnotic Specter, which may be better choices for competitive play.

Rules

04/15/13

An ability that triggers when something “attacks and isn’t blocked” triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.
