Nettling Imp
Oracle Text
{T}: Choose target non-Wall creature the active player has controlled continuously since the beginning of the turn. That creature attacks this turn if able. Destroy it at the beginning of the next end step if it didn't attack this turn. Activate only during an opponent's turn, before attackers are declared.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Nettling Imp is a sneaky black tempo tool that turns combat into a trap, best in control or attrition shells that want to dictate when creatures trade. Its ability forces a chosen creature to swing if able, then punishes hesitation by destroying it at end step, so it’s especially nasty against freshly cast blockers, mana dorks, or utility creatures that the opponent wanted to keep back. Because it can only target a creature the active player has controlled since the start of the turn, the ideal line is to use it on their turn before attackers, preferably on the biggest threat they can’t afford to lose. Pair it with sacrifice outlets or deathtouch effects to make the “must attack” clause even more awkward, and consider blink or untap synergies if you want repeated pressure from a small evasive body. In lore terms, it feels like a malicious little instigator, not a direct killer, but one that weaponizes panic and bad choices.
