Gaze Into the Palantír
The Palantir of Orthanc invites you to peer into the depths of strategy with its captivating powers. As a Legendary Artifact, this card allows you to manipulate fate at the beginning of your end step. Place an influence counter on the Palantir, invoke the ancient magic of the realm, and watch as your foes are drawn into a web of uncertainty. With the ability to scry 2, you can sift through your deck for the perfect card, ensuring you're always one step ahead of your opponent.
Should your opponent fail to draw, the spell grows darker: you may mill them for X cards, where X is the number of influence counters on the Palantir. This card synergizes beautifully with mill strategies, especially when paired with cards like Thassa's Oracle or Dimir Mill tactics. As you wield this artifact, remember that knowledge is power—what will you uncover in the shadows?
