Suspect

Keywords · beginner

To suspect a creature gives it a lasting designation with two effects.

How it works

• A suspected creature has menace and can't block.
• The designation stays on the creature until something specifically removes it.

Rules notes

• Suspecting an opponent's creature is a downside for them: it can't hold back on defense.
• Suspecting your own creature can be an upside, since menace makes it harder to block.
• Some cards stop a creature from being suspected or remove the suspected status.
