## Description

Master of Predicaments is a striking foil card from the 2014 Magic: The Gathering M15 core set. Designed by David Sirlin, this card represents a unique intersection of strategic depth and interactive gameplay. As a rare Creature — Sphinx, it commands a mana cost of three generic and two blue mana, requiring a total mana value of five to cast. In the hands of a player, it presents a formidable 4/4 body with the flying ability, allowing it to bypass ground blockers and challenge opponents directly.

The card’s true distinction lies in its triggered ability. Whenever Master of Predicaments deals combat damage to a player, the controller chooses a card from their hand. The damaged player must then guess whether that card’s mana value is greater than four. A wrong guess allows the attacker to cast the chosen card without paying its mana cost. This mechanic introduces a psychological layer to the game, forcing players to weigh risk against reward and making every combat phase a battle of wits as much as resources.

The foil treatment adds significant aesthetic appeal for collectors who appreciate the shimmering finish characteristic of rare cards in the M15 set. Collectors often seek this card to complete their M15 collection or to add a versatile control piece to their Magic: The Gathering trading card game decks. Whether you are building a competitive strategy or expanding a curated library of classic TCG cards, this release offers both mechanical intrigue and visual elegance.
