Pact of the Serpent (Commander: The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Seal the Serpent's Accord

Pact of the Serpent is a compact tribal engine that turns board composition into card advantage and incremental life swing. Cast it, name the creature type you are built around and force a target player to draw X cards while losing X life equal to how many creatures of that type they control. In multiplayer this resolves as a scalable tax on overcommitted boards and as a tutor for information when played for value against an opponent who mirrors your chosen tribe.

For seasoned Commander pilots this card functions as both a soft removal magnet and a win condition enabler when paired with sacrifice outlets or life drain synergies. It reads well in decks that push a single tribe across the battlefield and in lists that punish token floods. The printed text is direct and predictable which makes sequencing straightforward in tight turns and during combat math.
