Been catching up on the His Dark Materials miniseries recently. The second ability is for Planeschase, 'cause why not

Also useful even if there's no planar deck to allow, say, Neyith of the Dire Hunt to keep drawing cards when opponents refuse to play creatures :P

by Sorrow:

For flavor purposes, this should be legendary :) The -1/-1 counters is an interesting interpretation of it- the knife cuts on intent, without needing to actually hit; I like it. Part of me feels the specters would be closer to colorless a la eldrazi, but black would be the traditional color choice.

It's also notable that wounds created by the knife don't naturally heal; plus, I chose the numbers so that the wielder of the knife is protected from the specters :)
