About Soulsworn Spirit

Soulsworn Spirit, Creature — spirit, designed by James Ryman first released in Oct, 2012 in the set Return to Ravnica. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.29.

A deck focused on tempo and control strategies would benefit from including Soulsworn Spirit, as it provides a strong disruptive element by detaining a key opponent's creature upon entering the battlefield while being unblockable itself. While there may be more powerful options available depending on the specific deck archetype, Soulsworn Spirit's unique combination of abilities could find a place in decks looking to slow down aggressive opponents and maintain board presence.
