Magic: The Gathering single: Standstill, from Odyssey. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

“Take your time.” Standstill's flavor text is a polite threat, and the card behaves exactly that way. For two mana, this blue enchantment sits on the battlefield and waits. The first time any player casts a spell, Standstill is sacrificed and each of that player's opponents draws three cards. Nobody wants to be the one who blinks, so the game grinds into a standoff where every spell becomes a gift to the rest of the table.

The trick is getting ahead before you put it down. Control players learned to cast Standstill after landing threats that don't need spells to keep working, such as creature lands that animate with an activated ability, then watch opponents choose between doing nothing and handing over three cards. That partnership gave its name to Landstill, a classic control archetype pairing Standstill with lands like Mishra's Factory. In multiplayer Commander it becomes a political grenade: when an opponent breaks the silence, everyone else at the table refills, you included, which makes it a wonderfully tense pick for decks that enjoy manipulating the table.

This is the original Odyssey printing from 2001, collector number 102, illustrated by Heather Hudson, in non-foil, from the set that introduced flashback and threshold.
