I mean, Dovin was really on-flavor with the uncommon of him. "Not the scariest planeswalker, but just really annoying" is basically his entire character summed up in a single sentance.

[Izandaia]

Graham: "Weasel, vole, ermine."
Matt: *badger, hedgehog, squirrel*

“You don’t see little buildings sprouting on trees”

This was a pretty pushed set and my friends and I have very fond memories of opening a stacked box. Foils of Karn, Teferi, and Liliana were among the cards we pulled; such good times!

[bossgoji]

Yeah, the trick with Kaya's Ghostform is it targets creatures AND Planeswalkers. You can do GROTESQUE things with it since it effectively lets you recycle walkers, get ridiculous sacrifice value, it protects key engine creatures from exile effects, and it goes really well with graveyard commanders and anything that wants to do sacrifice/combo kill loops.

"Did you ever see a magic card just do things?"
Nope, my friend tends to play blue.

[Pengu]

To hopefully clear up the Ghostform vs Invasion conundrum: it is commander.
Ghostform acts like a blink spell because you just enchant your commander and farm value with recurring it. Thinking Muldrotha, Tayam Luminous Enigma, any other commander I'm blanking on that brings aura/enchantments back from the yard. Or maybe you're just a black deck with ETB focus.

1:15 the pack reclosing itself was too spooky 4 me!

The problem with Dreadhorde Invasion compared to Bitterblossom is that the Armies don't have flying.

[kcommander]

In my 'limited' experience, Kaya's Ghostform was often used to get extra uses out of the uncommon walkers in the set.

Ashiok mill and Davriel discard were made stronger with Ghostform.

[chifii]

Kaya's Ghostform slaps in commander decks. I run it in Muldrotha, and forcing your opponents to have two removal spells to get her off the board really helps a threatening commander like her stick, even if you're not recurring it every turn.

[JediMB]

Kaya's Ghostform is a combo piece as well as a value card, and it's especially helpful that it saves the permanent from exile.

Stick it on Sun Titan and watch him laugh off a Swords to Plowshares, or use them with a sac outlet to get infinite ETB/death triggers.

[TalosParoxi]

Ahhh war of the spark. It certainly wasn't my first set but it was the first one that really got me interested in the lore

[MSUHitman]

Kaya’s Ghostform on Ashiok was a sick combo.

[WilliamBenjaminJohnDavis]

Kaya's Ghostform is one of my favourite cards. It let's you use the oven to reset Lurrus.

[graeme]

I did a draft of this set in Japan, Graham, and a buddy decided to draft ALL the copies of Demolish just so he could wreck my mana base. It was hilarious and HE WON every game in our match.

[Jaebird]

Yep. Kaya's Ghostform has that commander value. So often I see it among EDHRec lists for nearly anything that has black from what I saw.

[wavesofbabies]

Defiant Strike is a staple in Feather decks, both in this standard and in Historic.

[connorv]

The flavor text on Chainwhip Cyclops remains one of my favorites

[OGNoNameNobody]

Graham: Why *Kaya's Ghostform* ?
Me: Allow me to introduce *Light Paws*, *Lolth*, and this BigGiant Mutate stack to you, Graham.

[ClexYoshi]

you see, Graham, in Commander, we have a card we can gaurentee in our opening hand that's a creature that potentially gets back Kaya's Ghostform. it is called Go-Shintai of Life's Origin/Ghen, Arcanum Weaver/Muldrotha the Gravetide/Lurris of the Dream Den. Also, we could choose to make that card that starts (effectively) in our opening hand be soemthing that has a dies trigger that is really nice, like Kokusho the Evening Star/Junji the Midnight Sky/Elenda the Dusk Rose.

Some people also like to play kaya's ghostform in Superfriends decks too.

Shitterblossom, sadly, does not create evasive bodies or multiple bodies. it makes a big dumb idiot that after 6 glacial turns MIGHT get lifelink.
