Proteus Staff
Oracle Text
{2}{U}, {T}: Put target creature on the bottom of its owner's library. That creature's controller reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a creature card. The player puts that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of their library in any order. Activate only as a sorcery.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Proteus Staff is a sly, reality-bending tool that fits best in control or combo decks, where turning one creature into another is often more useful than simply destroying it. At face value, it looks like a removal spell, but the effect is stranger and sometimes stronger: you tuck the target creature away, then “morph” its controller into a new creature from the top of their library. That means it can answer indestructible or recursive threats while also disrupting drawn-out board states. The real deckbuilding payoff comes from pairing it with your own creature tokens, cheap utility creatures, or effects that leave you with only one creature in play, letting you repeatedly stack your library to cheat a preferred creature onto the battlefield. Because it activates only as a sorcery, it rewards patient, main-phase planning rather than reactive play. In practice, it shines as a clever tempo swing and a combo enabler.
