About Dread Specter

Dread Specter, Creature — specter, designed by Kathryn Rathke first released in Oct, 1996 in the set Mirage. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.36.

A black control deck that focuses on removal and disruption would benefit from including Dread Specter in its deck, as it provides a powerful way to deal with nonblack creatures. While there may be more efficient removal options available, Dread Specter's ability to destroy creatures when blocking or being blocked by nonblack creatures can be strategically valuable in certain matchups. Whether it should see play depends on the specific meta and deck strategy, but it could be a situational inclusion for a control deck looking to disrupt the opponent's board presence.
