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.

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 card draws its inspiration from the classic 1982 serial Kinda, which explores themes of psychological manifestation and telepathic possession through the eponymous entity known as the Mara. Its inclusion in the set serves as a direct homage to the Fifth Doctor's encounters with this malevolent psychic presence, capturing the narrative essence of his struggle against the entity's influence.
The artwork was executed by Andrey Kuzinskiy, who utilized a digital medium to emphasize the ethereal, unsettling nature of the Mara. His design focuses on the visual representation of corruption and mental entrapment, leaning into the surrealist horror elements present in the original television production. The card was met with appreciation from franchise fans for its thematic accuracy and its functional role within the specialized Doctor Who Commander decks, providing a specific mechanical interpretation of the show's lore.
