Ophiomancer: Upkeep Snakes
Ophiomancer arrives for {2}{B} as a lean 2/2 Human Shaman, a compact engine for midrange control. At the beginning of each upkeep, if you control no Snakes, create a 1/1 black Snake creature token with deathtouch. That steady cadence adds a stream of threats on the board, giving you incremental reach while you handle removal and stabilize the game state.
Flavor hints point to a network of serpents and shadowed arts, with the Ophiomancer guiding token creation as a quiet form of pressure. The card rewards patient planning, turning a single body into a growing lattice of deathtouch blockers and attackers that can alter the pace of the match. In Modern Horizons 3, Ophiomancer fits into control and attrition builds, delivering reliable value without overextending your mana.
