Time's Trickster Unbound
Obeka, Splitter of Seconds sits at the intersection of timing and threat. This legendary Ogre Warlock costs {1}{U}{B} to cast and comes equipped with menace and a disruptive upkeep engine. In practical play Obeka punishes aggressive approaches and rewards disciplined attackers by converting combat damage into additional upkeep steps for you. Those extra upkeeps let you chain effects tied to beginning of upkeep triggers or recast spells that reset the board clock in your favor.
From a lore perspective Obeka fits the Outlaws of Thunder Junction flavor. She is less a clockmaker and more an opportunist who fractures moments to seize tempo. In limited and constructed shells she pairs well with cards that care about repeated upkeep triggers or that benefit from extra resource windows. Expect this card to alter sequencing decisions and to create tense turns where a single strike multiplies the game state.
