Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Black Vise is a classic pressure piece for aggressive tempo decks that want to punish slow, card-rich openings before the opponent can stabilize. For just one mana, it quietly turns every oversized hand into a liability, dealing damage at the chosen player’s upkeep based on how many cards they hold above four. That makes it especially strong against control, combo, and greedy midrange lists that spend the early turns sculpting their hand rather than deploying threats. The best way to maximize it is to pair it with cheap disruption and hand-tax effects like discard, bounce, or resource denial, forcing the opponent to sit with extra cards they cannot safely empty. It also shines in low-curve shells that empty their own hand quickly, keeping pressure high while Black Vise chips away from the side. In lore terms, it feels like a cruel trap laid to weaponize hesitation, turning caution itself into pain.
