Malicious Malfunction
Oracle Text
All creatures get -2/-2 until end of turn. If a creature would die this turn, exile it instead.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Malicious Malfunction is a clean, punishing control tool that fits Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty’s machine-meets-magic aesthetic: a sudden systems failure that sweeps through the battlefield and leaves nothing to be reassembled. For three mana, it gives all creatures -2/-2 until end of turn, which is already excellent against small boards, tokens, and utility creatures, but the exile rider turns it from a simple combat trick into a true answer to recursive threats and death-trigger decks. It best supports control and midrange shells that want to stabilize while denying graveyard value. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair it with effects that reduce toughness further or with sacrifice/discard strategies that force key creatures onto the board before the wipe, then permanently remove them. It is especially nasty against opponent decks relying on death triggers, persist-style recursion, or indestructible-adjacent protection.
