No More Lies — Tax the Trick
No More Lies is a tidy answer to evasive threats. Castable on the opponent turn, it forces a choice that often decides the tempo of a game. It reads as a conditional counterspell that levies a mana toll. Use it when you need to convert a tempo swing into card advantage or when you want to deny a key spell that would otherwise resolve free of consequence.
In the context of Karlov Manor, this card plays like an investigator closing a loop. It punishes reliance on a single decisive play by making your opponent pay or lose their principal move. Experienced players will value the timing nuance; it sits well in control shells and in reactive sideboards where denying value matters more than outright removal.
