Tainted Specter

Creature — Specter

Flying {1}{B}{B}, {T}: Target player discards a card unless they put a card from their hand on top of their library. If that player discards a card this way, this creature deals 1 damage to each creature and each player. Activate only as a sorcery.

Printings & Editions

Premodern-legal editions of Tainted Specter — old-border printings plus any period-appropriate foil promos (Arena/Judge, through Scourge). Hover to preview an edition on the card; click to select it.

Old-border editions + pre-Scourge promo foils (Arena/Judge). Modern-frame reprints (8th Edition onward) exist but are not period-appropriate printings.

Critical Rulings

"Tainted Specter used to have errata causing the card to be put into the graveyard without being discarded. The current wording returns it to being a discard, so it will trigger abilities appropriately."
