Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Man-o'-War is a classic blue tempo tool that turns a modest 2/2 body into immediate board disruption, and that’s exactly why it has remained relevant across formats and reprints like The List. For three mana, it bounces any target creature back to its owner’s hand, often undoing an opponent’s early development, buying a full turn against a threat, or resetting a creature with counters, auras, or tap abilities. The jellyfish body also matters: after the bounce, it can still pressure planeswalkers and chip in while you hold up interaction, making it especially strong in tempo and control shells. It shines with blink effects such as Ephemerate or Ghostly Flicker, since each re-entry generates another bounce and can create soft locks against creature decks. In bounce-heavy blue decks, Man-o'-War is also a useful value creature that buys time while you assemble your late game.
