Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Sharkey, Tyrant of the Shire is a sneaky control and prison piece that turns your opponent’s lands into liabilities while borrowing their utility for himself. In gameplay terms, he is at his best in a tempo-control shell that wants to slow development, protect a lead, and exploit awkward board states; shutting off fetchlands, creature-lands, and utility lands can buy huge turns. Because Sharkey gains all activated abilities of lands your opponents control, he becomes especially nasty against decks with powerful utility lands, letting you turn their fixing and value into your own toolbox. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair him with land hate or bounce effects, so you can strip key lands of use and then capitalize on them once Sharkey is online. Thematically, he feels like a usurper manipulating the Shire’s foundations from within, and mechanically he is a rare piece of blue-black oppression that rewards planning, patience, and knowledge of opposing mana bases.
