Oracle Text

Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Copper Tablet is a deceptively simple punitive artifact that fits best in control or prison-style shells, where every point of damage adds up while you prolong the game and restrict opponents’ development. Because it hits each player on every upkeep, it functions as a symmetrical clock, so you want to break the symmetry with life gain, damage prevention, or a faster win condition of your own; otherwise it will punish you just as hard. In practice, it pairs well with cards that reward repeated small losses of life, such as effects that trigger off players being damaged or life total thresholds, and it can be especially annoying in multiplayer where the damage stacks around the table. From a deckbuilding angle, it’s strongest when cast early and supported by stax pieces or discard to keep opponents from racing ahead. The name evokes a battered relic with a harsh, antique purpose: not a treasure, but a warning etched in metal.
