Gloom Ripper
Oracle Text
When this creature enters, target creature you control gets +X/+0 until end of turn and up to one target creature an opponent controls gets -0/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of Elves you control plus the number of Elf cards in your graveyard.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Gloom Ripper is a payoff piece for an Elf-centric black midrange/tempo build: as a 4/4 body for {3}{B}{B} it stabilizes the board while its enter-the-battlefield effect can both push damage and remove blockers by turning X into an offensive boost and an opponent creature’s de-toughening. The card wants lots of small Elves and graveyard density — token generators, cheap creatures and self-mill or discard enablers — because X equals Elves you control plus Elf cards in your graveyard. Practical synergies include Entomb/Buried Alive to stock the yard with Elves and sacrifice outlets like Ashnod’s/Phyrexian Altar to turn the temporary buff into long-term value, or giving the buffed creature trample/haste to convert the +X into immediate damage. Build this in Golgari or Jund elf shells rather than pure control: prioritize recursion, cheap elves, and ways to capitalize on a one-turn power spike (e.g., pump spells or evasion) so Gloom Ripper closes races and wins favorable trades.
