The only Specter that can neither fly nor cause discards. Basically it shouldn't even be a Specter.

The ugly sister of the specter family... she will probably never know love.

Presumably the pseudo-deathtouch is them laughing so hard their chests burst. Black creatures don't have humor so it doesn't work.

I don't know whether the art is hilarious or terrifying.

You, madam, should be ashamed of yourself. You are not a specter!

This art reminds me of The Scream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_scream Personally, I think it's pretty amazing. The new photoshop art can be super cool, but some of this old stuff can be great too and it has a different feel.

Also, there should be some terrible hand related jokes in the comment section:

e.g. "Hey dread specter! Lend me a hand! Oh- uh, ok. Uh... never mind. *backs away slowly*

or

Dread specter is one heck of a handyman!

etc. Go for it people!

Why doesn't Dread Specter take your cards?

Because he already has an extra hand.
