Out of Air (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Catch Your Breath

Out of Air is a compact counterspell that fits cleanly into tempo and control decks in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan. The card name tells the story. For {2}{U}{U} you get a flexible Instant that becomes cheaper when you target a creature spell and still resolves as a full counter when needed. Use it after a key attacker is cast or to disrupt a creature-based combo while preserving mana for your follow up plays.

Play it where you need efficient interaction. The cost reduction against creature spells lets you react to creature threats without overcommitting mana. In lore terms this spell channels Ixalan’s subterranean currents to choke out an intruder’s ascent. As a common from the set it is reliable stock for draft and standard sideboards and remains useful in casual and constructed lists that lean on blue’s reactive toolkit.
