Slip Into the Hay
Haystack from Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed is a compact piece of utility you will slot into any white artifact package. The Near Mint Foil presentation mirrors the card's subtle role on the battlefield. For a modest cost of one white and one generic mana you gain access to an activated ability that can protect a key creature or hide a combo piece. The artwork shows a cart piled high with straw which fits the card's mechanical identity as a brief refuge from interaction.
Play Haystack when you need an interruption free turn to set up attacks or shields. Its printed ability reads as a straightforward phase out effect that removes a creature and attached cards from the game for a turn so you can reset combat math or dodge removal. Experienced players will appreciate how it interacts with enter the battlefield triggers and how its timing can be used to deny blocks or preserve lethal damage. Add this uncommon foil if you value subtle, repeatable tempo play in white artifact shells.
