Shut Behind the Gates
Locked in the Cemetery is a compact control tool that rewards patient graveyard development. For a single blue and one generic mana you attach an Aura to an opposing or friendly creature and create a tempo advantage the moment your yard reaches five cards. The trigger is conditional, so this plays well in self mill or value decks where filling the graveyard is part of the plan.
When the trigger resolves and the creature becomes tapped it effectively loses a turn of activity since it also skips its controller's untap step while enchanted. Use Locked in the Cemetery to buy time, protect a key blocker, or shut down a creature that would otherwise break a stall. This Near Mint English printing from Foundations Jumpstart is ideal for jumpstart drafting, sideboard tech, or Legacy binder swaps.
