Elspeth's Nightmare, Enchantment — saga, designed by Jason Rainville first released in Jan, 2020 in the set Theros Beyond Death and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
This card, Elspeth's Nightmare, would benefit a control or midrange deck looking to disrupt the opponent's board and hand while also gaining some graveyard hate. While it can be effective in certain matchups, there are potentially better cards like Thoughtseize for hand disruption or Tormod's Crypt for graveyard hate that may be more versatile and efficient in certain situations. Whether Elspeth's Nightmare should see play would depend on the specific strategy and meta of the deck it's being considered for.

A chapter ability doesn’t trigger if a lore counter is put on a Saga that already had a number of lore counters greater than or equal to that chapter’s number. For example, the third lore counter put on a Saga causes the III chapter ability to trigger, but I and II won’t trigger again.

As a Saga enters the battlefield, its controller puts a lore counter on it. As your precombat main phase begins (immediately after your draw step), you put another lore counter on each Saga you control. Putting a lore counter on a Saga in either of these ways doesn’t use the stack.

If multiple chapter abilities trigger at the same time, their controller puts them on the stack in any order. If any of them require targets, those targets are chosen as you put the abilities on the stack, before any of those abilities resolve.

Once the number of lore counters on a Saga is greater than or equal to the greatest number among its chapter abilities, the Saga’s controller sacrifices it as soon as its chapter ability has left the stack, most likely by resolving or being countered. This state-based action doesn’t use the stack.
