Snare the Board with Braided Net

Braided Net (Extended Art) gives you slow, controllable disruption that fits into blue artifact strategies. The card enters the battlefield with three net counters, each one a deliberate tool to tap down a problematic nonland permanent and lock out its activated abilities while it sits tapped. Use it to neutralize a key blocker, silence a mana rock, or shut down a planeswalker loyalty ability that depends on activation.

Play patterns lean toward timing and preservation. You will spend counters selectively rather than burn them all at once. As a Light Play foil from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan this copy pairs visual appeal with practical function. The extended art frames the net as a crafted device you can weave into artifact synergies or a tempo oriented blue shell.
