Static Prison: Quick Lock Enchantment from Modern Horizons 3
Static Prison offers a precise tempo play from Modern Horizons 3. When it enters the battlefield, exile target nonland permanent an opponent controls until Static Prison leaves the battlefield. You get 2 energy counters, a small but meaningful gain that can fuel your longer game plan. The art presents a figure sealed inside a glowing orb, framed by arches and chains that evoke containment and control on the battlefield.
The card does not sit idle. At the beginning of your precombat main phase, sacrifice Static Prison unless you pay {W}{W}. This upkeep cost keeps the lock honest while forcing you to commit to the board state or release the removed threat. Use Static Prison to pick off a critical nonland threat for a turn or two while you assemble your defenses, then leverage the energy counters toward future plays in your overall strategy from Modern Horizons 3.
