Why is this card good?
Dauthi Voidwalker is one of the best two-drops in black, full stop. It does three elite things at once for just .
- Unblockable clock: Shadow means it's virtually always attacking for 3, since almost no decks run shadow creatures. That's real pressure in any aggressive black deck.
- Free graveyard hate: It passively shuts off reanimator, flashback, Underworld Breach, Muldrotha, dredge, and delve — without you spending a card or a slot. This is huge in a format full of recursion.
- Theft upside: Sacrifice it to steal an opponent's exiled bomb — cast their Cyclonic Rift, a tutored finisher, or a reanimation target for free. The value ceiling is absurd.
Who wants it: basically every black deck — cEDH, aristocrats, stax, midrange, control. It's a generically powerful inclusion, not an archetype piece.
When to skip it: essentially never if you're in black, but it's least impactful in pure go-wide token or pillowfort decks that don't care about a single attacker and have better hate options. Otherwise, jam it.

If your opponent discards a card while you control Dauthi Voidwalker, abilities that function when that card is discarded still work, even though that card never reaches that player's graveyard.
