Hey! It's a Nightstalker Night Stalker! Guess this was before it was one word.
Anyway, this isn't horrible, but it's expensive, so it's probably not worth it.

I am not a fan of Sean Connery's monkey nightstalker

I actually have one of these in a monoblack deck that I use in multiplayer. It's a lot more useful than you'd think.

Decent size body for its cost back than, and the ability was out of flavor, but useful at times. Not bad, really.

thorjy, your comment was hilarious. Anyway, this card isn't just god awful for the time period it was printed. A 4/4 for 5 is fairly standard even today, although not a very good deal. The ability is obviously out of flavor now, but it doesn't seem useless.

Can soak up 1-3 power flyers, or block like a 2/2 and soak up a 1/1, or eat all the damage for a 10/10 trample. or even trade with a 4/4 and soak up a big boy. Underestimated.

Well, that was easy.
