Will-o'-the-Wisp
Oracle Text
Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)
{B}: Regenerate this creature. (The next time this creature would be destroyed this turn, instead tap it, remove it from combat, and heal all damage on it.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Will-o'-the-Wisp is a classic little nuisance for black decks, leaning most naturally into control or attrition-based tempo plans where time and mana are traded for inevitability. A one-mana 0/1 with flying already asks a lot of awkward questions from opposing attack steps, and regeneration makes it notoriously irritating to remove in fair combat. It is especially good at stalling early aggression, carrying equipment, or chipping away at planeswalkers when the board is cluttered. In deckbuilding, pair it with sacrifice outlets or effects that care about creatures dying and surviving, since regeneration can preserve key board presence while still enabling flexible combat math. It also combines nicely with discard, removal, and mass attrition strategies: the Wisp soaks up removal that would otherwise hit more important threats. Thematically, it feels like a flickering ember or ghostly lure—small, elusive, and hard to pin down, exactly the sort of card that turns a grindy game in your favor.
