Locust Miser

Hand-size attrition is one of black's oldest and least-loved closing strategies, and this is its body-on-a-stick version: a 2/2 that quietly clips two cards off every opponent's grip. The trouble is the math. Reducing maximum hand size only matters when an opponent ends the turn holding more cards than the new ceiling, which means the effect does nothing against a deck that empties its hand each turn and only bites the control player who hoards answers. It is a discard tax paid at end of turn, not a Mind Rot, and it stacks across copies and across other reducers without ever touching cards already on the battlefield. The Shaman tag and the small black body place it among a family of cards that try to win by starving the opponent of resources rather than killing them, a clock so slow it asks everything around it to keep the table stable long enough for the screws to turn. As a piece of grind, the design is honest about its own niche: it punishes hoarding, rewards a board state you can defend, and contributes nothing to the spent-hand aggressor it can never catch.
