Doesn't beat the original! The artwork could be better.

To be truthful, Specter is a tribe with a direct mechanical identity "we make you discard lots of cards" that is at least as powerful as Elves "we make you lots of mana", and no amount of redundancy on Specter cards even TODAY really goes by without gratitude.

But back in the days of 5th Edition, a VERY important card existed in large numbers, continually reprinted in sets like Ice Age, the Core Set, and maybe one of the other "Old Sets" from Arabian Nights-Fallen Empires?

Dark Ritual.

This card is therefore 5 stars with no valid arguments available: it is Hypnotic Specter 5-8 plain and simple.
