Lore

Why it matters

As a rare card from the Shards of Alara set, Vicious Shadows serves as a potent centerpiece for decks designed to punish opponents for the loss of their own creatures. Its ability to scale damage based on the size of an opponent's hand makes it a formidable tool for maintaining pressure during the later stages of a game.

Card face

What it does

Whenever a creature dies, you may have this enchantment deal damage to target player equal to the number of cards in that player's hand.

"Thrashes of the ancient past still linger in spirit and shadow, desperate to sink their claws into our souls."— Rakka Mar
