Siege of the Barrensteppe
Barrensteppe Siege is a practical addition for players who build around synergy and incremental advantage. This enchantment from Tarkir Dragonstorm reads cleanly and forces a meaningful choice as it resolves: choose Abzan for steady growth or choose Mardu to punish attrition. In Near Mint condition and English printed, the card slots easily into midrange shells that want repeatable end step triggers or decks that benefit from opponent disruption.
Play reads straightforward and the decisions reward timing and sequencing. If you pick Abzan you gain universal growth with a +1/+1 counter applied at each end step, which compounds into a clock against slower decks. If you pick Mardu you gain a tempo lever that converts your creature deaths into opponents losing board presence, effective in sacrifice engines or aggressive exchanges. Add this rare to a collection or deck and tune your end step play accordingly.
