Hofri Ghostforge

Oracle Text

Spirits you control get +1/+1 and have trample and haste.
Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies, exile it. If you do, create a token that's a copy of that creature, except it's a Spirit in addition to its other types and it has "When this token leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to its owner's graveyard."

Character Background

Hofri Ghostforge is a powerful value engine for Boros sacrifice and aristocrats-style decks, turning every fallen nontoken creature into a temporary Spirit that keeps the pressure on. His static boost matters more than it first appears: all your Spirits become hasty trampling threats, so even modest tokens can swing games immediately. The death trigger is where the real advantage lies, effectively letting you “reuse” creatures once they die, whether they were combat bodies, utility creatures, or creatures with enters-the-battlefield effects. He pairs especially well with sac outlets like Ashnod’s Altar or Viscera Seer, and with creatures that leave value behind, such as Solemn Simulacrum or Recruiter-style tutors, since you can cash them in and keep the board growing. In gameplay terms, Hofri supports a proactive midrange-to-aggro plan with strong grind potential, rewarding decks that can attack, sacrifice, and recur threats faster than opponents can answer them.
