Lore

Why it matters

Nightmare is one of the original creatures from Magic: The Gathering's Alpha set, representing a foundational piece of the game's history as a core element of black-aligned strategies. This Ninth Edition printing features iconic artwork by Carl Critchlow, whose distinct style updated the classic phantom horse for the modern era of the game.

What it does

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)

Nightmare's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Swamps you control.

The thunder of its hooves beats dreams into despair.
