Haystack
Oracle Text
{2}, {T}: Target creature you control phases out. (Treat it and anything attached to it as though they don't exist until your next turn.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Haystack is an uncommon 1W artifact that offers a cheap, repeatable way to temporarily remove one of your creatures from the battlefield for two mana and a tap, which makes it an excellent tool in tempo- and midrange-oriented white decks that need to protect a linchpin threat or dodge a removal-heavy meta. The card’s strength is defensive flexibility: you can phase out a key blocker to avoid symmetrical sweepers, hide a fragile finisher from targeted removal, or deny unfavorable blocks and combat math until your next turn. Deckbuilding-wise it pairs particularly well with high-value, vulnerable creatures and attachment strategies — Auras and Equipment phase with your creature, so you can shelter both and return them intact — and benefits from redundancy (multiple copies or backup threats) because it’s an artifact susceptible to hate. Play it in lists with cheap evasive threats and instant interaction so you can create surprise tempo swings when the phased creature reappears.
