Description
Hidden Strings is a blue Sorcery card identified as number 12 in the 2013 Magic: The Gathering Dragon's Maze expansion. Designed by artist Daarken and bearing the set code DGM, this Common card offers a distinct mechanical interaction for the Trading Card Game. The card allows players to manipulate the state of two target permanents by tapping or untapping them. Its defining feature is the Cipher ability, which lets the caster exile the card encoded on a creature they control. When that creature deals combat damage to an opponent, its controller may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost. This mechanic provides flexible options for board control and resource advantage. Collectors often seek out cards from the Dragon's Maze set due to its unique design themes and innovative gameplay mechanics. Hidden Strings represents a key piece of the blue mana identity within this era of Magic: The Gathering. Its straightforward yet powerful effect makes it a notable entry for enthusiasts of the game's strategic depth.
