Rune-Brand Juggler Makes a Scene
Rune-Brand Juggler provides a tactical opening for red black decks that prize tempo and targeted removal. When this Human Shaman enters the battlefield you may suspect up to one target creature you control which gives that creature menace and prevents it from blocking; the effect sets up trades and forces opponents to answer threats on your timing. At two mana and with a modest two two body you get immediate board impact and a lever for later disruption.
The second ability converts that early threat into a removal engine. For three black red and a suspected creature sacrificed you can apply a heavy negative stat shift to one target creature until end of turn. Use it to finish off large blockers or to clear the way for an attack that actually connects. The card fits well in midrange shells and sacrifice synergies and its foil printing from Murders at Karlov Manor carries the set tone without distracting from practical play decisions.
