Magebane Lizard — Scaly Saboteur
Magebane Lizard is a compact tax on spells that do not summon creatures. At a casting cost of {1}{R}, this 1 4 creature trades raw resilience for an ongoing deterrent effect. Whenever a player casts a noncreature spell, Magebane Lizard deals damage to that player equal to the number of noncreature spells they have cast this turn. The art reinforces the point with a desert lizard exhaling a scorched reminder to would be spellcasters.
Use Magebane Lizard to punish long combo sequences or to force opponents to play around repeated instants and sorceries. It pairs well with pressure on the board and with effects that increase spell counts per turn. In the Outlaws of Thunder Junction lore this lizard thrives where reckless casting draws heat, turning every extra cantrip into incremental punishment and making opponents rethink their timing.
