Skullcap Snail, Hand Thief
Skullcap Snail is a compact disruption tool that slots easily into a low curve black list. The card name will alert opponents to a small but effective threat. When Skullcap Snail enters the battlefield, target opponent exiles a card from their hand, which pressures resource management and can short circuit an opponent plan before it develops. Its one mana and one power make it a steady, repeatable tempo play in grindy matchups.
In practical play Skullcap Snail is useful as an early blocker and a reclamation engine for information. The Lost Caverns of Ixalan flavor places this Fungus Snail among subterranean scavengers, so its exile trigger reads like a scavenger taking something useful away. Use it to disrupt key spells, probe for answers, and buy time while you assemble removal or a finisher.
