Character Background

Glitch Ghost Surveyor is a flexible little engine that best supports tempo and value plans: as a 2/2 flyer for {2}{U} it pressures air defenses early while its "Start your engines!" clock rewards repeated opponent life loss so you can turn a body into a long-term advantage. Thematically it reads like a spectral scout that accelerates as conflict bleeds into the field, and practically you want to force those life-loss ticks with cheap evasion or repeatable pings—think Izzet-style lists that combine unblockable tricks, burn spells, or cards like Guttersnipe/Thermo-Alchemist to ensure the speed climbs each turn. Deckbuilding tip: slot it where you have ways to reliably make opponents lose life on your turns and ways to recur or mill it into the graveyard; once it reaches its max speed the {3} exile-to-draw becomes clean card advantage, so include recursion, self-mill, or graveyard access to turn every corpse into a card. It’s a small tempo threat that converts into late-game value if you plan around incremental life loss.
