As card number 273, this foil Mythic Rare edition features artwork by Lius Lasahido and commands a mana cost of four generic mana and two black mana. With a mana value of six, it serves as a powerful late-game threat in any black-aligned deck.

Mechanically, The Haunt of Hightower is defined by its Flying and Lifelink abilities, allowing it to deal damage to its controller while remaining difficult to block. Its most distinctive trait is its ability to grow exponentially during combat. Whenever this vampire attacks, the defending player must discard a card, putting pressure on the opponent’s resources. Furthermore, every time a card is put into an opponent’s graveyard from anywhere, The Haunt of Hightower receives a +1/+1 counter. This synergy means that as the game progresses and cards are discarded or destroyed, the creature becomes increasingly difficult to remove.
