Default [CON] Constricting Tendrils

This just in from the man himself, Zesty. We got outselves an blue combat trick for all you guys who love...blue combat tricks! Ready!? Here it is!

Constricting Tendrils
Instant (C)
Target creature gets -3/0 until end of turn.
Cycling


And there you have it! Not the flashiest card out there, but it's certainly going to be fun in limited! Enjoy! And thank Zesty!

It is at least better than other type 2 cards with cycling.

Well stream was only really good if you had wizard.dec in limited. Otherwise it was just -1/-0 more and lack of cycling.

Cycling cards are never dead. Still, pretty boring stuff.

Everyone that saw "Tendrils" in the title of the thread has instantly thought one of the following:
1- "Oooh some black drain life!" OR:
2- "Storm is back?" OR:
3- "Nice! Some black prison card!"

... but in the end it's a common blue filler...

Neeext!

Cycling for only 2 colorless? yes please.
Fluctuator.dec gets yet another card that can and might get hard cast to help against quick aggro.

I like this card a lot. A simple, easy to use combat trick with Cycling for the Spikes along with teaching newer players the value of cycling when looking at a dead board. A very elegant card, and very 'blue'.

Not every card has to be a constructed powerhouse to be appreciated...
