About Sting-Slinger

Sting-Slinger, Creature — goblin warrior, designed by Ralph Horsley first released in January 2026 in the set Lorwyn Eclipsed and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.49.

Sting-Slinger would fit best in an aggressive red deck that either goes wide with expendable creatures (such as Goblin tribal or token-based builds) or actively benefits from -1/-1 counters, since its repeatable 2-damage-to-each-opponent ability pressures life totals in multiplayer and synergizes with death triggers, sacrifice themes, or creatures that like having counters placed on them (for example, undying/persist-style synergies or counter-manipulation strategies). However, in most formats it would be considered slow and inefficient compared to stronger options like **Impact Tremors** (which passively drains without additional mana), **Purphoros, God of the Forge** (a far more powerful and harder-to-remove finisher in token decks), or even **Goblin Bombardment** (which converts creatures directly into damage without ongoing mana investment), making Sting-Slinger unlikely to see competitive play unless a dedicated -1/-1 counter synergy deck specifically wants repeatable, scalable mu

Rules

11/17/2025

All of the -1/-1 counters must be put on a single creature. You can't choose to split them up between multiple creatures.

11/17/2025

If a creature has +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it, state-based actions remove the same number of each so that it has only one kind of those counters on it. For example, if a creature has three +1/+1 counters on it and two -1/-1 counters are put on it, state-based actions will remove two of each of those kinds of counters, leaving the creature with just one +1/+1 counter.

11/17/2025

If a creature that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner's graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, effects that refer to the counters on that creature when it died will see all of those +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters.

11/17/2025

If you can't place -1/-1 counters on any creatures you control (probably because you control no creatures), you can't choose to blight.

11/17/2025

Once you've announced that you're casting a spell or activating an ability, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to destroy or otherwise remove your creatures to stop you from blighting as part of paying the cost of that spell or ability.

11/17/2025

The creature you choose to put -1/-1 counters on doesn't have to have enough toughness to survive the process. For example, if you blight 2, you can choose to put the counters on a 1/1 creature you control.
