Needle Specter

Description

Needle Specter is a rare black creature card from the 2008 Magic: The Gathering Eventide set, numbered 39. Designed by Christopher Moeller, this card belongs to the Specter subtype and costs {1}{B}{B} to cast. As a 1/1 flying creature with wither, it deals damage in the form of -1/-1 counters rather than removing the creature. The card’s most impactful ability triggers whenever it deals combat damage to a player. When this happens, that player must discard cards equal to the damage dealt. This mechanic makes Needle Specter a potent tool for controlling the board and depleting an opponent’s hand resources. Its black mana identity aligns it with decks focused on attrition and resource denial. Collectors often seek out cards from the Eventide set for their unique art styles and gameplay mechanics. Needle Specter stands out due to its straightforward yet effective abilities, making it a notable inclusion for fans of the game. Whether you are building a themed collection or looking for key cards from this era, this release offers a glimpse into the strategic depth of Magic: The Gathering during the late 2000s. For investors and hobbyists alike, cards like Needle Specter represent a piece of TCG history.
