Card face

What it does

Whenever Durnan attacks, look at the top four cards of your library. You may exile a creature card from among them. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. For as long as that card remains exiled, you may cast it. That spell has undaunted. (It costs 1 generic mana less to cast for each opponent.)

Provenance

Where it came from
