{"product_id":"oubliette","title":"Oubliette (Original Art)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOubliette\u003c\/em\u003e is a three-mana black enchantment first printed in \u003cem\u003eArabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e (1993). “When \u003cem\u003eOubliette\u003c\/em\u003e enters the battlefield, target creature phases out until \u003cem\u003eOubliette\u003c\/em\u003e leaves the battlefield. Tap that creature as it phases in this way (Auras and Equipment phase out with it. While permanents are phased out, they're treated as though they don't exist)”. \u003cem\u003eOubliette\u003c\/em\u003e is a very iconic black enchantment from Magic’s early days, imprisoning creatures rather than killing them. It is mechanically significant because it inspired future design space for black’s limited “removal without death” options. Its original text was so confusing, until modern rules finally clarified it using the phasing mechanic. It’s one of the only black cards that can truly “exile” something temporarily, giving black decks versatile creature control. It was sometimes played in Old School (93\/94) Black Midrange \/ Control decks. Nowadays, this card is still being competitively played in Pauper Mono Black Devotion decks. For years, it was one of the best black removal spells in the Pauper format, thanks to its unique combination of exile-like removal and resilience to recursion. It deals with\u003cbr\u003eindestructible or regenerating creatures, and it avoids triggering death triggers (e.g. \u003cem\u003eMyr Retreiver\u003c\/em\u003e). Here, it’s often played together with cards like \u003cem\u003eSign in Blood\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCuombajj Witches\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eGray Merchant of Asphodel\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eOubliette\u003c\/em\u003e is not on the reserved list and has a few reprints (\u003cem\u003eDouble Masters, The List, Secret Lair Drop Series, and Mystery Booster 2\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762011533357,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Oubliette_Original_Art_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775126489","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/oubliette","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
