Deem Inferior is a blue sorcery from Modern Horizons 3 that rewards careful planning. It costs {3}{U} and is reduced by {1} for each card you've drawn this turn, letting your hand advantage translate into tempo. This mechanic fits blue’s deck-building ethos, rewarding patient setup and precise timing without rushing the win condition.
The spell targets a nonland permanent, and its owner puts that permanent into their library second from the top or on the bottom. That subtle relocation can disrupt an opponent’s sequence or pressure a key play, without removing the permanent from the board. The flavor text nods to a decisive moment of blue scholarship, a reminder that intellect can tilt a battle as much as force of will.
