Description
The Rousing Refrain card, numbered 253 in the Secrets of Strixhaven Commander subset, offers a distinct strategic option for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. Released in 2026 as part of the brand's ongoing evolution, this rare sorcery stands out for its innovative resource generation and delayed casting potential. Players can utilize the suspend mechanic to exile the card with three time counters, gradually reducing the cost until it can be cast for free, providing a powerful late-game surge. Alternatively, casting it normally allows the user to gain red mana equal to the opponent's hand size, creating a dynamic advantage that scales with game state. This product appeals to collectors who appreciate complex mechanics and thematic depth within the Commander format. The card's design and functionality make it a compelling piece for those building decks centered around resource management and tempo. As a sought-after item in the Secrets of Strixhaven series, it represents a significant addition to any serious collection of Magic trading cards.

Add {R} for each card in target opponent's hand. Until end of turn, you don't lose this mana as steps and phases end. Exile Rousing Refrain with three time counters on it. Suspend 3—{1}{R} (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay {1}{R} and exile it with three time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.)
