The extra +0/+1 is not worth the extra Black, if a single lightning bolt can still kill it. Nice artwork.

Gorgeous Ice Age artwork is gorgeous. Mediocre card is mediocre. Move along, folks.

I still like Guul Draz Specter even with its lower initial P/T

@Opant1: Actually, it's an extra {1}.

Furthermore, the damaged opponent gets to choose the card they discard, which makes this muuuuuch worse than Hypnotic Specter.

There have been good Specters in the meantime, but none will ever beat the Hippie. Since it's totally OP.

It's not strictly worse than Hypnotic Specter, just worse.

Sweet art. Would be better if Dark Ritual made BBBB. That is all.
