Slither and Shield
Snakeskin Veil from Outlaws of Thunder Junction is a concise play for tight board states. Cast for one green mana, this instant places a +1/+1 counter on a creature you control and grants hexproof until end of turn, letting a pressured attacker survive and remain a threat into your next main phase. The foil Near Mint print adds a subtle shimmer to the artwork where the rattle of a giant serpent frames a wary traveler.
In play this card reads like efficient protection and incremental growth. Use it to push a creature through blockers, protect a key blocker from removal, or upgrade a chump into a lasting threat. The card fits well in aggressive green decks that value tempo and resilience and in sideboards where one point of indestructibility space can change combat math. A practical piece of Outlaws era design with a light touch of frontier lore about a traveler and a gift from a rattler.
