Summoner's Bane⁣ - Zendikar⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [71]

Summoner's Bane counters a creature spell and generates a 2/2 blue Illusion token, offering both disruption and a body to maintain board presence. This instant is valuable in control decks that aim to stifle opponents’ threats while also providing a creature to use offensively or defensively. However, its effectiveness is limited to creature spells, meaning it won't help against non-creature strategies.
