About Tombstone Stairwell

Tombstone Stairwell, World enchantment, designed by Dom! first released in Oct, 1996 in the set Mirage. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 146.88. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck that focuses on graveyard recursion and sacrifice synergies, such as a Golgari or Orzhov reanimator deck, would benefit from including Tombstone Stairwell. While it can generate a significant board presence quickly, the cumulative upkeep cost can be a drawback if not managed properly. Other cards like Endless Ranks of the Dead or Army of the Damned may offer similar token generation without the upkeep cost, making them potentially better options depending on the deck's strategy and mana curve. Overall, Tombstone Stairwell could see play in specific graveyard-centric decks looking to overwhelm opponents with zombie tokens but may require careful consideration in deck construction to maximize its potential.
