Failed Conversion
Oracle Text
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets -4/-4.
When enchanted creature dies, surveil 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Failed Conversion is a compact piece of black removal that fits best in control and grindy midrange decks, where trading resources and extracting extra value matter more than raw speed. At five mana, it is not a tempo play, but the payoff is strong: shrinking a creature by -4/-4 will cleanly answer many medium threats, and the death trigger turns the kill into card selection by surveilling 2. That makes it especially attractive in decks that care about the graveyard, self-mill, or delirium-style setups, since you can bin flashback, reanimation, or recursive pieces while smoothing draws. It also pairs well with sacrifice effects and edict-style pressure, because you can set up a likely death and get the surveil bonus even if the creature was already weakened. The name and effect feel very March of the Machine: an attempted transformation that ends in ruin, but still leaves behind useful knowledge for the next turn.
