You are viewing an old version of this card
Just before any card with Ethereal resolves, you gain 4 Block, 5 once upgraded.
Unpowered: flagged unpowered, so Dexterity and Frail do not change it.
Keyword only: whether printed on the card or added for the turn by Sculpting Strike or Call of the Void.
Must be played: an Ethereal card that sits in hand and exhausts at end of turn gives nothing.
Copies: two copies give 8 or 10 per play.
When to take Spirit of Ash
Best once your Necrobinder holds four or more Ethereal cards and a way to keep drawing them, turning them into free Defends.
