Ghost-Lit Stalker

Description

The Ghost-Lit Stalker is a notable uncommon creature from the 2014 Magic: The Gathering Duel Decks Anthology: Garruk vs. Liliana set, identified by card number 34 and the GVL set code. As a black one-mana Spirit, this card has long been recognized for its strategic flexibility, offering players a choice between moderate disruption or a devastating board wipe through its unique channel ability. Designed by Hideaki Takamura, the card represents a key piece of the Anthology series, which repackaged classic duel decks for a new generation of enthusiasts. The Ghost-Lit Stalker’s ability allows a player to force their opponent to discard two cards for a manageable mana cost, or to channel the card for five black mana to force a four-card discard. This dual functionality makes it a favorite for deck builders looking for efficient hand destruction without committing to expensive spells. Collectors often seek out this card to complete their GVL set or to appreciate the evolution of Magic’s design during the mid-2010s. The Ghost-Lit Stalker remains a staple for those interested in black-based strategies, providing reliable interaction against opponents’ hands. Its enduring presence in the format highlights its well-balanced power level and enduring appeal among both competitive players and casual hobbyists. Whether used in a competitive deck or added to a curated collection, this card embodies the strategic depth that Magic: The Gathering is known for.
