Stalactite Stalker
Oracle Text
Menace
At the beginning of your end step, if you descended this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. (You descended if a permanent card was put into your graveyard from anywhere.)
{2}{B}, Sacrifice this creature: Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is this creature's power.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Stalactite Stalker is a neat little black Rogue that rewards an attrition-focused tempo or sacrifice plan, especially in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan decks that can reliably trigger descend. A 1/1 with menace for a single black mana already pressures early blocks and chips in for damage, but the real payoff is growing at end step whenever you’ve put a permanent card into your graveyard that turn, turning incidental self-mill, fetch lands, sacrificed tokens, or traded creatures into steady value. Once it has a few counters, its activated ability becomes a potent removal spell: sacrificing the Stalker to give a target creature -X/-X where X is its power lets you convert your investment into a clean answer, often after forcing awkward blocks with menace. It shines with cards that mill lands or permanents, sacrifice fodder, and recursion effects, since you can both grow it and reuse the graveyard theme to keep descending.
