mtg split second cards Deck Rules Text: Split Second, 23

It doesn't care if you take spells or creatures, you get a reward

Protective Embrace can essentially make your other cards in play impervious to songs or actions

Gild $1 Any removal spell with the word "exile" on it is worth taking a second look at, but theres no way anyone will run this over Heros Downfall unless theyre making a Rumpelstiltskin and/or King Midas theme deck

The deck also can generate a ton of value through draw engines such as Anowon, Bident of Thassa, Military Intelligence, Reconaissance Mission, etc, that draw cards when you hit with your evasive rogues

It's the best of the Ninja suite of creatures by far
