Sinister Sabotage
Oracle Text
Counter target spell.
Surveil 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put it into your graveyard.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Sinister Sabotage is a clean, efficient permission spell that best fits control and tempo decks, where holding up mana and dictating the pace of the game matters more than advancing your own board every turn. At three mana, it asks you to play patiently, but the Surveil 1 makes that investment feel smoother by turning a reactive answer into slight card selection and graveyard setup. That means it naturally supports strategies that care about the top of the library, flashback-like recursion, delve, or other graveyard value, and it can help smooth land draws in the late game or bin a dead extra counterspell when you need action. In a blue-black shell, it is especially appealing because black often rewards cards in the graveyard, letting this counterspell double as subtle setup rather than pure defense. Use it to protect a threat, stop a combo piece, or force an opponent to play awkwardly into your open mana.
