Character Background
Planar Incision reads like a surgical flash of neon — exiling and returning an artifact or creature with a +1/+1 counter fits both Kamigawa's techno-mystical flavor and a compact, efficient gameplay tool. At {1}{U} it’s primarily a tempo/value card: blink your own ETB creatures to get repeatable advantage or save threats from removal, or use it on an opposing attacker in response to a pump or combat trick to shrink tempo advantage (but beware you’ll give them a counter if you return it). It pairs especially well with enter-the-battlefield engines and +1/+1 synergies — think creatures that draw, create tokens, or otherwise profit from re-entering, and cards like Hardened Scales or any counter-matters package. As a deckbuilding tip, include a small flicker package (8–10 ETB targets, 2–4 Incisions) in tempo-control shells or artifact creature aggro to turn single threats into recurring value while keeping an eye on board-state before blinking opponent permanents.
