Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Tractor Beam is a midgame control/tempo tool: for {2}{U}{U} you permanently seize an opponent’s creature or Spacecraft, tapping it on arrival and preventing it from untapping during its controller’s untap step, which both neutralizes key blockers and turns enemy threats into one-use resources you can capitalize on. Best used in blue control or steal shells rather than aggro, it buys you tempo while denying opponents their engines. Synergies are concrete and practical — pair it with blink effects like Ghostly Flicker or Momentary Blink to reset the board and potentially re-trigger enter-the-battlefield interactions, or with sacrifice outlets such as Altar of Dementia or Viscera Seer to convert a stolen beater into immediate mill or value. Deckbuilding tips: include counters/protection to keep the Aura in play, bounce or disruption to clear opposing answers, and cards that profit from stealing creatures (crew synergies, ETB mills) so Tractor Beam becomes a repeated source of advantage rather than a one-off theft.
