Wraith, Vicious Vigilante SPM 0160 · uncommon

Take it when

Modify evasive creatures with counters or Equipment, then protect the attacker that turns those upgrades into reliable damage.

What to take next

Reporters can place counters on Wraith and Skyward Spider. Wraith doubles the extra power through double strike while the Spider gains flying.

Wrong pick

Spending several cards on one creature can lose to a single removal spell. Keep another threat and a protection plan.

Mana & splash

Keep the colored sources needed for early spells. A synergy payoff does not automatically justify a splash.

Daily Bugle ReportersCounters can enable two modified creatures, while the other mode returns an early creature. Choose the mode that repairs your current board or hand.
