Eyes of the Wisent

A hate card that punishes the most specific behavior imaginable: an opponent casting blue, on your turn. That triple constraint is the whole point. Control decks live in your end step, holding up counterspells and instant-speed card draw to react after you commit; this taxes exactly that window, turning every Counterspell or flash threat they throw at you into a free 4/4. The reward is deliberately lopsided to its trigger. A 4/4 green body is real pressure, but it only materializes if the opponent walks into it, and a savvy blue player simply waits until their own turn to do their interacting, where the enchantment sits dead. That asymmetry is the design honesty: it is an answer that costs the opponent tempo only if they refuse to adjust, and most will. The green-versus-blue hoser tradition runs back through cards like Choke and Boil that punish a color rather than a card; this one is gentler and more conditional than its ancestors, trading the lockout for a body. It says less about beating control outright than about reframing the matchup: forcing the blue deck to sequence its interaction around your turns instead of theirs, and charging a 4/4 every time they get the timing wrong.
