Disruptor Flute
Disruptor Flute is a rare artifact from Modern Horizons 3 that rewards precise timing and strategic planning. For {2} mana you gain an instant-speed play, courtesy of Flash, allowing you to drop the flute onto the battlefield when your opponent least expects it. On enter, you choose a card name and the disruption begins to take shape: spells with the chosen name cost 3 more to cast, narrowing your opponent’s options at a critical moment. The final line helps keep the effect in check by preventing activated abilities of sources with the chosen name from functioning unless they’re mana abilities, adding a reliable safeguard to your tempo plan.
In practice the flute offers a focused, name-based control that fits neatly into artifact-heavy build-arounds. The effect scales with the game’s pace, letting you push through a narrow window of opportunity or stall a key play just long enough to find your next move. Beyond the numbers, there’s a quiet, practical charm to how a single choice on entry can shape an entire turn and tilt the balance of a game through thoughtful optimization.
