Flaying Tendrils

Description

The Flaying Tendrils card from the Friday Night Magic 2016 set is a rare sorcery that offers a distinct gameplay experience through its unique rules text. Printed as card number 9 in the F16 set, this foil version features a shimmering finish. The card has a mana cost of {1}{B}{B} and a mana value of 3, making it a relatively efficient spell to cast. Its color identity is Black, though it possesses the Devoid characteristic, meaning it has no color despite its black mana cost. The gameplay effect of Flaying Tendrils is immediate and devastating. Upon casting, all creatures on the battlefield receive -2/-2 until the end of the turn. The card's effect exiles creatures that would die this turn instead of letting them go to the graveyard. Crucially, if a creature would die this turn, it is exiled instead. This exile clause prevents recovery or recursion strategies, making the card particularly effective against decks that rely on returning creatures from the graveyard. The flavor text, "Only one Eldrazi stood against them, yet the defenders were outnumbered," hints at the card's thematic connection to the Eldrazi creatures in the Magic universe, although the card itself does not specify this lore. Art by Svetlin Velinov, this card is a staple for players seeking reliable board control. The foil treatment and rare rarity make it a desirable addition to any Friday Night Magic 2016 collection. The card's design and mechanics reflect the strategic depth of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, appealing to both competitive players and hobbyists who appreciate the artistry of the hobby. Flaying Tendrils provides a compelling option for your collection.
