Ripples of Potential
Ripples of Potential is a compact toolkit for decks that exploit counters and timing. Cast for one and a blue mana to proliferate immediately then lock a selection of your permanents out of the game briefly. In practice this buys a turn for key pieces, preserves counters from removal, and interacts with phase mechanics you may already run. The extended art shows Ixalan ice caverns and merfolk at work which fits the card's quiet utility.
Use it when your board needs a soft reset without losing progress. It pairs cleanly with planes that care about additional counters, artifacts and enchantments that gain counters, and any strategy that benefits from temporary immunity. Experienced players will value the card as a precise answer that preserves momentum while letting you expand those advantages on the next upkeep.
