Mine Is the Only Truth

Description

Classified as an Ongoing Scheme with a mana value of zero, this card operates differently from traditional sorceries or instants, remaining face up on the battlefield until it is abandoned. The design, created by artist Eli Minaya, reflects the eerie atmosphere of the set while providing a steady resource advantage for the controller. The card’s primary function revolves around card draw. Whenever a player casts a spell, the controller draws a card, creating a continuous engine that rewards aggressive or spell-heavy strategies. However, this power comes with a self-imposed limit: at the beginning of the controller's upkeep, if they drew a card during the previous turn, the scheme must be abandoned. This creates a dynamic rhythm where players must manage their spellcasting tempo to maximize the benefit before the scheme resolves its own exit condition. For Commander enthusiasts, this card offers a unique twist on resource management. Unlike standard schemes that might provide a single burst of value, Mine Is the Only Truth requires active engagement to maintain its effect. Collectors interested in the Duskmourn: House of Horror expansion will appreciate its place within the Commander subset, which focuses on formats that support singleton, high-variance gameplay. As card number 340 in the DSC set, it serves as a notable entry for those tracking the complete release. Whether used to test new deck archetypes or simply to experience the thematic horror of the plane, this card provides a compelling mechanical puzzle for both casual and serious players. Its zero-mana cost makes it easily deployable, allowing immediate interaction with the board state without delaying the game's early turns.
