Ill-Timed Explosion — Calculated Fallout
Ill-Timed Explosion is a compact value engine that converts card flow into board removal. Cast for {2}{U}{R}, it gives you immediate card advantage with two draws and then offers a discard window that can become a sweeping board wipe. The interaction rewards deliberate deck construction and hand management since the potency scales with the highest mana value among discarded cards.
In play it reads like a tactical trick. Use it to cycle through answers, set up a high value discard to clear small creatures, or trigger graveyard synergies. The extended art frames the moment of rupture in a way that fits Karlov Manor's mood without overstating the effect. For pilots who prefer calculated turns over random blasts this card is a precise tool rather than a gamble.
