Terror-bringer
Knows when children disobey
If you're slacking
He's attacking
Did you do your chores today?

Presence lingers
Inside every hollow tree
Don't sneak out
Or you'll shout
And no one will remember thee
Its look evokes the most different myths in the imagination, which reminds me of "He Who Walks Behind the Rows
", an entity from the short story "Children of Corn
" by Stephen King, or even "Babadook
", where we have beings closely linked to a locality, person or lineage. Similarly, we've already had the presence of guardian spirits in Magic: The Gathering, as in the Spirit of the Hearth card. His tale, one of the most terrifying in Innistrad's recent history, can be read in His Eyes, All of ThemThe Deck

Removals and Interaction

Grave Hates
who bother us so much, as Languish deals with smaller creatures, be it mana elves, goblins or those annoying Hatebears. Cursed Totem, while not a removal, is a powerful interaction that prevents creature abilities from being activated.
Draw & Tutors

ability and Wishclaw Talisman is always an excellent tutor. Locating the right cards quickly is paramount in decks based on card combinations. In addition to the possibility of searching for cards through tutors, we have some card draw and recursion. Direct draws include Read the Bones, Sign in Blood, Greed, Dark Tutelage, Ransack the Lab, and Arguel's Bloodfast. Some wheel effects like Dark Deal and Credit Voucher are crucial to discard our creatures if they are drawn. Resource recovery in singleton formats is of tremendous importance, as redundancy is not always possible. Among our second chances are: Regrowth, Reclaim, Conjurer's Bauble, Elixir of Immortality.
