Bottled Cloister: Timelocked Card Advantage
Bottled Cloister rewards timing and patience. Cast this four mana artifact when you can tolerate a short lull. Each opponent's upkeep exiles your hand face down which denies them information and stabilizes volatile game states. On your upkeep the bottle disgorges what it held and then replaces a card by drawing one. The interaction creates a predictable tempo loop that fits control builds or strange lock pieces.
Experienced players will recognize how Bottled Cloister can reset hand quality over several turns while disrupting opponents who rely on hand reads. The card pairs with recursion and graveyard hate and acts as a soft protection for key cards you intend to reuse. In limited play it favors careful sequencing and a steady clock rather than explosive turns.
