About Barrow Ghoul

Barrow Ghoul, Creature — zombie, designed by Bryan Talbot first released in Jun, 1997 in the set Weatherlight and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

This card could be beneficial in a graveyard-focused deck that aims to have a high creature count in the graveyard for various synergies. However, there are better options like Gravecrawler or Bloodghast that provide more consistent value without the downside of potentially sacrificing itself. Barrow Ghoul may not see as much play in competitive decks due to its drawback, but it could still be fun and thematic in casual or themed decks that focus on graveyard interactions.

Rules

04/01/08

If an effect or rule puts two or more cards into the same graveyard at the same time, the owner of those cards may arrange them in any order.

04/01/08

If the creature is no longer on the battlefield when the ability resolves, you may still perform the action if you want.

04/01/08

Say you’re the owner of both a permanent and an Aura that’s attached to it. If both the permanent and the Aura are destroyed at the same time (by Akroma’s Vengeance, for example), you decide the order they’re put into your graveyard. If just the enchanted permanent is destroyed, it’s put into your graveyard first. Then, after state-based actions are checked, the Aura (which is no longer attached to anything) is put into your graveyard on top of it.

04/01/08

The “top” card of your graveyard is the card that was put there most recently.
