Scheming Fence

Description

Scheming Fence, card number 349 in the Streets of New Capenna expansion, is a 2022 release from Magic: The Gathering that appeals to collectors interested in strategic gameplay and thematic design. As a Human Citizen creature with a mana cost of {W}{U}, this card occupies a specific niche in the game's creature ecosystem. Its design reflects the heist-inspired aesthetic of the New Capenna setting, where civic duty and underworld scheming collide. The card’s primary appeal for players lies in its interactive ability. Upon entering the battlefield, the controller may target a nonland permanent to silence its activated abilities. Simultaneously, Scheming Fence gains all of that permanent’s activated abilities, excluding loyalty abilities. This dual effect allows for dynamic board control and resource acceleration, making it a favorite among builders looking for flexible interactions. The ability to spend mana as though it were any color when activating these copied abilities adds significant utility to various mana bases. For collectors, Scheming Fence represents a key piece of the Streets of New Capenna catalog. Card number 349 is often sought after by those completing the main set or focusing on creature types like Humans and Citizens. The artist, Artur Treffner, contributes to the visual identity of the expansion, and owning a copy of this card allows collectors to appreciate the detailed illustration and thematic consistency of the SNC block. Whether you are building a deck around citizen synergies or simply completing your collection of Streets of New Capenna, Scheming Fence offers both mechanical depth and collectible value. It serves as a reminder of the intricate world-building that defines Magic: The Gathering's modern eras.
