Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Run Behind is a clean, flexible tempo tool that fits best in blue decks looking to disrupt combat while preserving card advantage through time rather than raw removal. At four mana, it is a little clunky, but the discount for targeting an attacking creature makes it play much more like a three-mana pseudo-removal spell when you need to answer a threat midcombat. Putting the creature on top or bottom of its owner’s library is especially nasty against expensive creatures, tokens, or creatures that have been pumped for a big attack, since it removes the board presence without sending the card to the graveyard where recursion might help. In Limited, this can swing races and buy critical turns; in Constructed, it pairs well with flash creatures, bounce, and other instant-speed interaction to keep opponents off balance. Decks that want to stay reactive, especially control shells with a few evasive finishers, will appreciate its efficiency and its ability to punish overextensions.
