Path of the Ghosthunter puts a permanent effect on the board — opponents must sacrifice a creature at the start of each of their end steps unless they have no creatures — and it does it for three mana at sorcery speed. Kasla, the Broken Halo is the natural home, recurring it to keep the pressure constant, but any deck that wants a repeatable sacrifice demand will find the rate acceptable.

Kasla, the Broken Halo
Kasla, the Broken Halo recurs enchantments from the graveyard, which means Path of the Ghosthunter isn't a one-shot tax — it's a loop that forces opponents to sacrifice a creature every end step as long as Kasla keeps bringing it back.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Path of the Ghosthunter is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but Legacy and Vintage have no practical interest in a three-mana enchantment that slowly drains creatures — those formats kill on turn one or two and have no patience for attrition at this speed. Commander is the only real home: the multiplayer end step means each opponent faces the sacrifice demand on their own turn, compounding the pressure in a way one-on-one formats never allow. Oathbreaker is a plausible secondary format if the planeswalker at the helm cares about forced sacrifice.

Price Context
Current price
$0.30 bulk tier
At $0.30, Path of the Ghosthunter is bulk — pick it up without a second thought if the deck calls for it. Bulk enchantments with narrow homes rarely spike, so there's no urgency beyond just needing the card.
