Auntie's Sentence

Auntie's Sentence is a flexible early-game removal/disruption spell. Best use cases: pick off small creatures with -2/-2 or snipe a key nonland permanent from an opponent’s hand when you need targeted disruption. It’s strongest in limited and slower black decks where tempo matters. Synergies: gets better with hand-knowledge effects, discard-heavy strategies, and decks that want cheap interaction while applying pressure. It also pairs well with sacrifice or attrition plans, where any card advantage from hand disruption matters. Key mechanics: modal choice gives either removal or pseudo-discard, so it’s never dead. The creature mode is especially good against x/2 or smaller threats and after combat. The discard mode only hits nonland permanent cards, so it can’t strip instants/sorceries, which keeps it narrower than premium discard.
