{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|B=9|UB=1|BR=1|A=1}} {{stats|Wraith creation|UB=1|M=1|state=collapsed}} as of ''[[The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth]]'' }} {{TOCright}} '''Wraith''' is a [[black]] [[creature type]] used for cards that depict [[spirit]]-like apparitions that are supposed to portend the death of their beholder. These spectral [[undead]] are often shown wearing a hooded cloak that partially obscures their face (or lack thereof).<ref>{{DailyRef|bells-street-wraith-2007-06-06|Bells of a Street Wraith|[[Magic Arcana]]|June 06, 2007}}</ref> ==Description== The first card to bear the type was <c>Bog Wraith</c> in ''[[Alpha]]''. Only five wraiths had been printed in total, until they were featured in two [[Universes Beyond]] sets. All classic black wraiths had [[Landwalk|Swampwalk]]. With the landwalk ability being obsoleted, the last Wraith with the ability was printed in ''[[Zendikar]]'' in 2008. ===Dominaria=== {{card plural|Bog Wraith}} are found on [[Dominaria (plane)|Dominaria]]. As the card was first printed in [[Alpha]] and then only reprinted in [[core set]]s, they most likely come from [[Terisiare]] or [[The Domains]]. In the [[Serra Angel (comic)|Serra Angel comic]], 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 Aldon to attack Dreygar to reclaim [[Aldon's Castle|his castle]]. When Dreygar was killed, the bog wraith remained an advisor to Aldon. ====Wyndmoor Street==== <c>Street Wraith</c> from ''[[Future Sight]]'' is described as living in '''Wyndmoor Street''': as it is a [[Futureshifted]] card, both the creature and the street come from a possible future, one that hadn't been explored yet during its first printing. But because the card got reprinted since then in Dominaria Remastered, it can be assumed that the street location is on Dominaria. ====Jamuraa==== On [[Jamuura]], <c>Dirtwater Wraith</c> and <c>Odylic Wraith</c> were known dangers of the land. <c>Dirtwater Wraith</c> came to threaten the kingdom of [[Zhalfir]], while <c>Odylic Wraith</c> were feared for their ability to eat their victims' memories. ===Kamigawa=== {{card plural|Bog Wraith}} haunt the swamps of [[Takenuma]] on the plane of [[Kamigawa (plane)|Kamigawa]]. (While not printed in the [[Kamigawa block]], the flavor text of the ''[[Tenth Edition]]'' reprint informs us of this) ===Zendikar=== <c>Bog Tatters</c> haunt the swamps of [[Zendikar]]. They are said to be born of a brutal slaying. ==Universes Beyond== {{Template:Non-canon 2}} ===Warhammer 40K=== In 2022, ''[[Warhammer 40,000 Commander Decks]]'' would see a new wraith in <c>Canoptek Wraith</c>, which had [[unblockable]] instead of [[swampwalk]]. ===Lord of the Rings=== ''[[The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth]]'' features the nine ring-wraiths, or [[Wikipedia:Nazg没l|Nazg没l]]. ==Notable Wraiths== ;[[Universes Beyond]] *The nine [https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Nazg%C3%BBl Nazg没l] (<c title="Card">Nazg没l</c>) **The [https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Witch-king_of_Angmar Witch-king of Angmar] (<c title="Card">Witch-king of Angmar</c>) **Lord of the Nazg没l (<c title="Card">Lord of the Nazg没l</c>) ==Tokens== {{Wraith tokens|header=y}} ==Trivia== *{{Card|Woodwraith Strangler}} is modeled after a malevolent botanical being used in other fantasy media, rather than the spectral definition here. *<c>Odylic Wraith</c> used to be subtype [[Undead]], but this was changed to Wraith in the [[Grand Creature Type Update]]. ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Creature types|Races}}
