Sleeping Potion

Description

Within this set, Sleeping Potion stands out as card number 34, offering a unique tactical option for players and collectors alike. This enchantment — Aura type requires a specific mana cost and targets a creature, imposing a temporary halt on its actions. When this Aura enters the battlefield, it taps the enchanted creature, preventing it from attacking or using activated abilities that require tapping. Furthermore, the creature fails to untap during its controller's untap step, effectively keeping it out of action for a significant portion of the turn. If the enchanted creature becomes the target of another spell or ability, the Aura sacrifices itself, adding a layer of risk and strategic depth to its use. The foil treatment adds a distinct visual appeal, making this card a desirable addition for enthusiasts of the Planeshift subset.
