Fell Specter

Description

The Fell Specter is an uncommon black creature card from the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2019, identified by card number 96. Illustrated by Dimitar Marinski, this card carries a mana cost of {3}{B} and possesses a mana value of 4. As a Creature — Specter, it enters the battlefield with a power and toughness of 1/3. The card features the flying keyword, allowing it to evade most ground-based blockers. Its strategic impact stems from two distinct triggered abilities. Upon entering the battlefield, Fell Specter forces a target opponent to discard a card. This initial disruption is compounded by a secondary effect: whenever an opponent discards a card for any reason, that player loses 2 life. This creates a synergistic loop where the initial discard triggers ongoing life loss, pressuring opponents who hold large hands or rely on card advantage. Collectors interested in Core Set 2019 often track this card to complete their base checklist. The card’s black color identity and spectral subtype make it a recognizable piece of the set’s creature lineup. Understanding its rules text and interaction with discard mechanics is essential for players evaluating its role in constructed formats. The specific design and text box layout represent the standard printing style for uncommon cards in this era of Magic: The Gathering.
