Creatures you control gain afterlife 1 until end of turn. Draw a card. (When a creature with afterlife 1 dies, create a 1/1 white and black Spirit creature token with flying.)

Flavor Text

As far as the Orzhov Syndicate is concerned, it is the height of irresponsibility not to have a plan for your own ghost.

Rulings

(2/2/2024)
Because blockers are chosen all at once, you can't block with a creature with afterlife, wait for it to die, then block with the resulting Spirit tokens.
