Mana Burn

Mana Burn is a slang term given to cards that put cards from your opponent's mana zone into another zone (usually the graveyard)

Details

Mana Burn cards often belong to the Fire and Nature civilization. As paying mana to pay for a cards cost is an important part of the game, Mana Burn cards can cause an interference to your opponents game plan.

This leaves your opponent unable to cast high-cost spells or summon high-cost creatures. There are many ways of doing this:

• Combining mana burn with Removal cards
• Using a one-shot devastating mana burn card like Überdragon Bajula and Hydro Hurricane

Mana Burn cards also sometimes feature in the Water Civilization as Mana Bounce.
