Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Body Snatcher is a classic attrition tool for black decks that want value over time, fitting best into control or midrange shells with a reanimation subtheme. Its first clause effectively turns your discard outlet into a gatekeeper: if you can pitch a creature card, you keep a 2/2 body; if not, it never sticks around. That makes it excellent with cards like Faithless Looting-style effects, discard-for-value abilities, or sacrifice outlets that let you control when it dies. The second ability is the real prize, though: on death, it exiles itself and returns a creature from your graveyard directly to the battlefield, turning removal or a planned sacrifice into a powerful recursion swing. In play, you often want a creature in hand that is also a creature you’re happy to later reanimate, or a large threat in the graveyard waiting for the Snatcher to cash in. The Phyrexian flavor is fitting: it steals bodies, then recycles them into something worse for your opponent.
