Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Stab Wound is a classic Ravnica-style punishment aura: efficient, mean, and perfect for a black control or tempo shell that wants to slow the board while bleeding the opponent out. At three mana, it shrinks almost any relevant creature into combat irrelevance, and if the target survives, its controller keeps taking 2 life every upkeep, turning a single attachment into a clock that pressures both board and life total. This is especially strong against decks built around small utility creatures, evasive threats, or anything that needs to attack to matter. It also pairs nicely with sacrifice effects or bounce spells, since you can stick it on a creature that was already going to die, or reuse the removal tempo by forcing awkward lines. In draft, it often functions as removal plus inevitability; in constructed, it shines when your deck can stall the game and protect the aura’s long-term drain.
