Mana Short
Oracle Text
Tap all lands target player controls and that player loses all unspent mana.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Mana Short is a classic blue tempo-control blowout, turning a single instant into a miniature time walk against the right opponent. At {2}{U}, it shines most when you want to cast it at the end of their turn or in response to them tapping out, then untap and press the advantage while they start the next turn effectively stranded. The card is especially brutal against big-mana decks, combo lists that bank mana for a finishing sequence, and control mirrors where timing and resource denial matter. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair it with cards that punish tapped-out opponents, such as flash threats, extra turn effects, or instant-speed card draw into countermagic, so the mana denial converts directly into pressure. It also has sneaky synergy with mana tax effects and bounce, since forcing awkward sequencing makes the “lose all unspent mana” clause even harsher.
