About Umbra Stalker

Umbra Stalker, Creature — elemental, designed by Daarken first released in Jul, 2008 in the set Eventide. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 26.74.

A deck that focuses on filling its graveyard with cards containing black mana symbols would benefit from including Umbra Stalker, as it can potentially become a powerful creature for a relatively low cost. However, there may be better options available depending on the specific strategy of the deck, such as Tarmogoyf, which has a similar mechanic but can benefit from a wider range of card types in the graveyard. Whether Umbra Stalker should see play ultimately depends on the overall synergy and effectiveness of the deck it would be included in.

Rules

08/01/08

Chroma abilities count hybrid mana symbols of the appropriate color. For example, a card with mana cost has two red mana symbols in its mana cost.

08/01/08

This is a characteristic-defining ability, which means it functions in all zones. You include the symbols in the Stalker’s own mana cost if you need to determine its power and/or toughness while it’s in the graveyard.
