Card face

What it does

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.

Provenance

Where it came from

Ensnared by the Mara is a rare sorcery card featured in the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond: Doctor Who set, released in 2023. The set was designed to integrate the long-running British science fiction series into the tabletop game's mechanics, specifically focusing on the Fifth Doctor's encounters with the malevolent entity known as the Mara, which first appeared in the 1982 serial Kinda.

The card was illustrated by Andrey Kuzinskiy, who utilized a dark and surreal aesthetic to capture the psychological nature of the Mara's corruption. Within the game's mechanics, the card reflects the character's ability to manipulate and exert influence over others, a design choice aimed at translating the source material's themes of mental possession into a functional gameplay effect.
