the shire mtg card Magic Gathering: Secret Lair earth (LTR) #50 Illustrated by Dmitry Burmak Magic The Shire (Borderless) - MTG

I want my opponents to feel like my deck could win at any time to encourage them to play attentive Magic, and also to generate fun combat interactions I might not otherwise get by casting a lot of board wipes or cards like Counterspell and Anguished Unmaking

These could very well be a mix of legendary creatures and other kinds of spells, but that remains to be seen

The only other downside of Lure Prey is that it can only cheat in green creatures

It's in the cracks between the other storytelling venues that we have, and it fills inbit by bitstory information and planar flavor that you can't get anywhere else

If these prove too hard on your brain to start with, you can downgrade the opponent to Merfolk for a while to gather experience against a lower amount of countermagic
