Mindstab⁣ - Time Spiral⁣ (Common)⁣ [119]

Mindstab allows you to force an opponent to discard three cards, which can significantly disrupt their strategy and hand size. You can either cast it for its full cost of five mana or use its Suspend ability by paying one black mana and exiling it with four time counters. If you choose Suspend, it will take four turns for it to come back, but once the last counter is removed, you can cast it for free, creating a potential surprise factor. This card is particularly useful in decks that focus on hand disruption or want to capitalize on your opponent's weakened board state. However, the downside is that if your opponent has a way to draw cards or has few cards in hand, the impact of Mindstab can be diminished. Additionally, the four-turn wait can be a long time in a fast-paced game.
