Stinging Lionfish — Tide of Tempo
Stinging Lionfish is a compact tempo piece that punishes predictable sequencing and rewards timing. The card functions as an Enchantment Creature Fish with a 2/1 body and a pinpoint ability: whenever you cast your first spell during each opponent's turn you may tap or untap target nonland permanent. That trigger reads like a utility toolbox, offering disruption on defense or unlocking a late play on offense, and it fits cleanly into blue tempo shells and reactive control lists.
The art shows a serrated, reef prowler that looks built for quick strikes and subtle interference. In gameplay the lionfish excels at stealing attack phases, turning off blockers, or enabling a surprise activation on your own utility lands or artifacts. For players building Foundations Jumpstart decks, this uncommon gives flexible interaction and a persistent presence that can tilt tight races without demanding much mana investment. Condition is Near Mint and the card is English.
