Needle Specter

The niche this card wants to occupy is pretty much filled by Hypnotic Specter. I like, though, that the impact of its "saboteur" ability scales with its power - not like you needed any additional reasons to play Moldervine Cloak.

Constructed: 2/5
Casual: 2/5
Limited: 2/5

Needle Specter

Constructed: Hypnotic Spectrer Jr. The wither effect is nice and discard is also nice. Black discard decks are hard to make for Standard and Block. Got a idea for a green and black deck.

Casual: Discard is popular around my parts, so it should be a hit.

Limited: Flying makes it a good pick, but against someone with blue or white, it is a small fry. Late game not a great card.

Overall a good card. Maybe it will be played along side with it's big brother Hypie.

Constructed: 3

Casual: 4

Limited: 3
