Cerebral Confiscation — a concise tool for hand disruption and information advantage in Karlov Manor drafts and sideboards. At a casting cost of {2}{B} you pick one practical effect. Either force an opponent to discard two cards to accelerate your plan or reveal their hand so you can single out a troublesome nonland card and see it leave play. The choice reads like a small puzzle and fits smoothly into midrange control shells.
In play this sorcery trades tempo for knowledge. Use it early to strip answers and clear a lane or later to remove a single, critical piece of interaction. The card lands cleanly alongside sacrifice synergies and graveyard strategies while staying budget friendly. A quiet piece of lore notes Lazav advising caution with secondhand memory which mirrors the card function perfectly.
