Peek and Punish
Visage of Dread is a compact disruptor from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan that trades upfront mana for targeted information and removal. When Visage of Dread enters the battlefield you pick an artifact or creature from a revealed hand and force that card into the graveyard. The effect is tight enough to answer key combo pieces or remove a blocker while remaining small and easy to cast in a variety of black decks.
The card also offers a late game plan through Craft with two creatures that can turn this artifact into a 5/4 creature under your control. That secondary route makes Visage of Dread more than a one shot. Use it to pressure life totals, present a blocker, or recur with graveyard tricks. Practical on the play or the draw, it fits into discard themes and graveyard synergies common to Lost Caverns of Ixalan decks.
