Hold for Questioning

Description

Hold for Questioning is an Uncommon Aura enchantment from the Jumpstart 2022 expansion, released in 2022 and assigned card number 11. Designed by artist Samuel Perin, this card carries a mana cost of three generic mana and one blue mana, resulting in a total mana value of four. As a blue-only enchantment, it fits into strategies that rely on blue's signature control and resource management capabilities. The card functions as an Aura that attaches to a creature or planeswalker. Its primary ability triggers upon entering the battlefield, allowing the controller to tap the enchanted permanent and investigate. Investigating creates a Clue token, which is an artifact that can be sacrificed for two mana to draw a card. This mechanic provides immediate card advantage while simultaneously disrupting the opponent's board state. Beyond the initial trigger, Hold for Questioning imposes permanent restrictions on the enchanted permanent. The target cannot untap during its controller's untap step, effectively locking it in place. Additionally, the enchanted permanent loses the ability to activate its abilities. This combination of card draw and stasis makes it a versatile tool for maintaining board control. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often appreciate this card for its efficient two-for-one potential and its ability to neutralize key threats. The card's straightforward design and powerful effects have made it a notable inclusion in the Jumpstart 2022 product line. Whether building a casual deck or exploring different strategies in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, Hold for Questioning offers a unique blend of disruption and resource generation.
