This guy is going to dominate in Cipher decks. Encode him with anything, then enjoy your free spell(s) every turn!!!

True he isn't good the game. But hexproof in general is, I understand it messes with people's timed honed strategies, but it brings more card types back into play - enchantments, equipment, and their removals, also board wipers. You can't attack the Stalker but keep him stripped down and he's just and 1/1. Shroud just incentivised more flat out aggro.

I love cards that almost completely prevent me from interacting with them.

Waaaaait a minute.
It's clearly raining in the art.
Wouldn't the rain running over his body render him VISIBLE?
But he doesn't even list it as a thing that concerns him.
I can't believe it took over a year for this to dawn on me.

Lets just take a moment to have a look at the removal available in innistrad to get rid of this card
Good 100% of the time removal:
Blasphemous Act
Yep that is the only one that will realistically kill it in limited (If it is too big to kill with it you have already lost)
Not so good removal:
Rolling Temblor (probably the best and most reliable after blasphemous act if you can use it the turn after its played and only early game since most of the time stalker won't stay small for long)
Ashmouth Hound (what you are not going to block)
Balefire Dragon (By the time you can attack most of the time it will already be boosted and they can just block it with another flyer)
Curse of Death's Hold (oh you have a bonds of faith on your invisible stalker already)
Divine Reckoning(what you do not want to let your stalker die)
Liliana of the Veil(They ... (see all)

If he were an Unhinged card, there would have been nothing on the art but that wall and the rain XD

This card really bothers me. Like a lot. Let me lay it out for you.
Games dominated by this card (which happen in limited, at least... not sure yet about constructed) are not fun. They're not fun for the person playing against it, and they're usually not even that fun for the person playing it. Only you enjoy winning easily with very little mental challenge (in which case you're playing the wrong game) is this card fun to win with.
When you're staring across the table at this guy, especially in Innistrad limited where there are basically no ways to kill it (Tribute to Hunger is pretty-much it, and only works if he's the worst creature on your opponent's field) you don't have many options. All you can do is desperately try to draw into the right cards to win before Invisible Stalker kills you. You might be able to get your opponent to save him as a blocker if you can get enough of a fighting force out, but it's unlikely.
I've seen this guy out on tur... (see all)
