A card is "directly above" another card in your graveyard if it was put into that graveyard later and there are no cards in between the two.

The last thing that happens to a resolving instant or sorcery spell is that it's put into its owner's graveyard. Example: You cast Wrath of God. All creatures on the battlefield are destroyed. You arrange all the cards put into your graveyard this way in any order you want. The other players in the game do the same to the cards that are put into their graveyards. Then you put Wrath of God into your graveyard, on top of the other cards.

Players may not rearrange the cards in their graveyards.

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from ALL — the lineup includes Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #53 of *Alliances*, the set that shipped alongside the June 1996 Alliances release.

Card type: Creature — Horror Spirit, color identity black, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {3}{B} (4 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #26,052 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
