invisible stalker remains one of the trickiest cards for me to 100% understand. Iv learned a few things for it like what works with him,
you can't target him by enchantments or instants or sorrecy things that target a certain creature,
but you can kill him by duress or supreme verdict.and death touch works on it as well
my next question that comes to mind (i just played a deck test on here and it came up and i don't know)so if anyone can help
gatekeeper of malakir makes a player sacrifice a creature though it doesn't say ''target'' creature...if invisible stalker is your only one on the field does it go to the graveyard?
also any other tips for this card would be apprshiated because its my ''big'' card and i don't want my friends not be able to kill it when they can
Glaring Spotlight is another way to deal with hexproof things.

Duress won't work because it forces a player to discard a noncreature, nonland card.
Hexproof means "this permanent can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control."
A spell or ability only targets if it explicitly uses the word target.
Therefore, cards like Murder and Victim of Night can't kill Invisible Stalker because they can't target it. However, sweepers like Supreme Verdict and Bonfire of the Damned can still kill Invisible Stalker because they don't target Invisible Stalker .
Also, Invisible Stalker can be sacrificed. If it is your only creature and an effect forces you to sacrifice a creature (e.g. kicked Gatekeeper of Malakir , Tribute to Hunger ), they you have to sacrifice it.
