Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
The Rack is a classic control-leaning payoff that punishes a chosen opponent for keeping a full grip, turning card denial into direct damage. In practice, it shines in discard-heavy, attrition-based decks rather than pure aggro, because its damage scales best when you repeatedly empty the opponent’s hand and keep it there. That makes it an excellent fit alongside Thoughtseize-style disruption, Smallpox effects, or repeatable discard engines that pressure both resources and life total. It also pairs well with mana-efficient removal and board wipes, since those buy time while the artifact quietly drains. The lore feels appropriately cruel: a simple device that weaponizes scarcity itself, making every card the opponent holds feel like a shield they can’t quite afford. In multiplayer, choose the player most vulnerable to hand disruption or the one least likely to rebuild quickly, and in 1v1 it can become a steady clock that forces awkward topdeck mode.
