Perilous Snare
Oracle Text
Start your engines! (If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.)
When this artifact enters, exile target nonland permanent an opponent controls until this artifact leaves the battlefield.
Max speed — {T}: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature or Vehicle you control. Activate only as a sorcery.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Perilous Snare looks tailor-made for white-based control or midrange decks that want to stabilize the board, then turn the corner with a resilient threat. The enter-the-battlefield exile effect is premium tempo: it cleanly removes an opposing creature, Vehicle, or other problematic nonland permanent without giving immediate value back, and because it stays gone only while the artifact remains, the card invites careful sequencing and protection. In Aetherdrift, the “Start your engines!” mechanic rewards repeated damage, so this card naturally fits shells that can chip in early with evasive creatures or pingers to reach max speed quickly. Once there, the tap ability becomes a powerful mana sink, growing a creature or Vehicle at sorcery speed to help break board stalls or upgrade a single threat into a lethal racer. It pairs especially well with cheap attackers and artifact synergies, since preserving Perilous Snare while you generate speed makes every turn feel like tightening an ever-deadlier trap.
