Laboratory Maniac
Oracle Text
If you would draw a card while your library has no cards in it, you win the game instead.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Laboratory Maniac is a classic combo finisher in Magic: The Gathering, a fragile but elegant Human Wizard who turns reckless scholarship into victory. At {2}{U} for a 2/2, it is not about combat stats; it is about building a deck that can empty its own library and then survive long enough to draw one more card. This best fits combo and control shells, especially blue-based lists that can protect the Maniac with counters or bounce while assembling the win. Pair it with self-mill, wheel effects, or repeatable draw engines, and make sure you have a clean draw outlet ready the turn you go to zero cards. Instant-speed cantrips and effects like Thought Scour, Enter the Infinite, or Thassa’s Oracle-style support pieces in broader combo builds help keep the line consistent. The card rewards tight sequencing, careful resource management, and a willingness to win by making knowledge itself the last card in hand.
