Gastly
Oracle Text
Attack Petty Grudge (10)
Card Details
Character Background
Gastly from Base Set is a deceptively annoying Basic Psychic that shines in a control-oriented tempo plan, trading raw stats for disruption and punishment. Sleeping Gas can buy a crucial turn if the coin lands heads, and because Asleep can stall attacks, it pairs well with any deck trying to slow the game long enough to set up stronger Psychic threats. Destiny Bond is the real threat: by discarding an Energy, Gastly dares the opponent to take a knockout, and if they do on their next turn, it drags their attacker down with it. That makes Gastly especially useful as a sacrificial pivot, forcing awkward decisions and softening aggressive openers. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair it with Energy acceleration or recovery so the Destiny Bond cost is less painful, while also including Gust-style effects or retreat pressure to strand vulnerable targets. Lore-wise, it feels like a prankster spirit weaponized into battlefield attrition.
