Wraith
Wraith is a black creature subtype used for cards that depict spirit-like apparitions that are supposed to portend the death of their beholder.
The first card to bear the type was Bog Wraith in Alpha. Other examples include Dirtwater Wraith, Bog Tatters and Street Wraith from Future Sight.
Odylic Wraith used to be subtype Undead but this was changed to Wraith in the Weatherlight online release.
Storylines
- A Bog Wraith was summoned along with a vampire and a frozen shade by Aldon who used the dark amulet. The wraith needed to feed on flesh or would dissipate, so joined with Dreygar in convincing Aldon to attack Dreygar’s Castle. When Dreygar was killed, the bog wraith remained an advisor to Aldon.
- Bog wraiths haunt the swamps of Takenuma on the plane of Kamigawa
