This is a color-shifting of Skulking Ghost

I'd sooner play skulking knight than this.

Same cost as Storm Crow. Obviously a conspiracy.

I daresay this card's flavor text can be applied to the real world as well.

Good and cheap throwaway creature, can usually get some damage in before they kill it. Simic Guildmage can help it stick around later in the game.

And I'd gladly have my opponent using Giant Growth to kill this piddly creature than using it to damage me.

It humors me that this was colorshifted from black, then the ability ended up staying in blue.

Has a home now in M12 with Lord of the Unreal and his phantasmal friends.

Compare to Welkin Tern. With Krovikan Mist in Coldsnap and Lord of the Unreal in M12 (plus all the powerful illusions of late), they're both members of decent tribes.

Gossamer Phantasm can't be equipped or enchanted, which may or may not be relevant, but it's usually a negative when it is.

I don't know the tribes well enough to comment beyond that.

This is the timeshifted version of Skulking Ghost.

I used this card's flavor text in a big english project.
