Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Cunning Maneuver is a clean little tempo spell that fits naturally into red decks that want to keep pressure on while sneaking in card advantage. For just {1}{R}, you get an instant-speed +3/+1 pump, which can turn a modest attacker into a removal-resistant threat or let a creature win combat unexpectedly. The added Clue token is what makes the card especially appealing in midrange and value shells: after forcing damage through, you can cash it in later for fresh gas instead of running out of steam. It plays well in decks with evasive creatures, combat tricks, or sacrifice synergies that appreciate a disposable artifact. In practice, it best supports aggressive tempo strategies, where one card can push damage now and smooth draws later. If you’re building around it, pair it with creatures that already pressure life totals or with cards that care about artifact count, so the Clue becomes more than just a delayed draw.
