Nightmare Sower, Creature — faerie assassin, designed by Tommy Arnold first released in Jan, 2026 in the set Lorwyn Eclipsed.

Nightmare Sower fits best in a **Dimir (blue-black) flash/control or draw‑go deck** that regularly casts spells on opponents’ turns—think counterspells, instant-speed removal, flash creatures, and cards with flashback—so it can reliably distribute -1/-1 counters while gaining life through evasive damage.
