What it does
Cumulative upkeep—Add red mana. (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.)
The prominence danced before the shaman, a tangle of power and flame—his to unravel.

Where it came from
Braid of Fire was originally released in the 2006 Coldsnap expansion, a set themed around a magical ice age. The card was designed as a unique mana-generating enchantment that ramps up in power the longer it stays on the battlefield, though its mana must be spent during the upkeep phase, creating a distinct mechanical challenge for players who favor red decks.
This specific iteration is part of the Secret Lair series, a curated product line launched by Wizards of the Coast that features special artistic treatments of existing cards. The artwork for this version was commissioned to provide a fresh visual aesthetic for the classic effect, moving away from the icy origins of the card to embrace a more vibrant, stylized interpretation that aligns with the specialized themes often found within the Secret Lair releases.
