Ensnared by the Mara

Sorcery

Each opponent faces a villainous choice — They exile cards from the top of their library until they exile a nonland card, then you may cast that card without paying its mana cost, or that player exiles the top four cards of their library and Ensnared by the Mara deals damage equal to the total mana value of those exiled cards to that player.

  • exileFull entry →

    A zone outside the game: not the graveyard; many « from graveyard » effects won’t see it.

  • Mana costFull entry →

    A card's mana cost is printed in its top-right corner: the mana you must gather to cast it. Often a mix of a specific color and “generic” mana (payable with anything), like below.

  • Mana valueFull entry →

    Mana value is the TOTAL number of mana in a cost, all colors combined. The cost below needs 4 mana in total, so its mana value is 4.
