Lethal Scheme (Commander: The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Silent Collusion

Lethal Scheme is a compact removal spell that rewards a board presence. Casting it for {2}{B}{B} lets you tap creatures to convoke the cost, then destroy a target creature or planeswalker. The convoke clause changes its role from raw removal to a tactical play where each tapped ally can tip the balance without burning tons of mana.

The twist is the connive trigger that follows. Each creature that helped cast this spell draws then discards for itself, and successful discards can place +1/+1 counters on the convoking creatures. In practical terms this card trades board resources for immediate removal and incremental growth. It fits well into decks that expect to use tokens and multiple attackers, and it plays naturally in black strategies that value efficient interaction and card filtering.
