Siege the Step
Barrensteppe Siege is a borderless Light Play Foil enchantment from Tarkir Dragonstorm that offers a repeatable late game plan tuned to token and sacrifice themes. As an experienced player will note, choosing Abzan or Mardu on resolution shapes how you close the game. The Abzan route steadily grows your board by placing a +1/+1 counter on each creature at your end step making each attack more threatening. The Mardu option punishes creatures that die under your control by forcing opponents to sacrifice, turning your own trades into global attrition.
The card fits well into midrange shells that capitalize on incremental advantage or grindy creature value. Barrensteppe Siege plays cleanly with sacrifice outlets and anthem effects and the borderless foil treatment highlights the strategic map artwork in a way collectors appreciate. Include this Light Play Foil if you want a low maintenance engine that pressures opponents over multiple turns and meshes with Arkhosan style decks on Tarkir.
