Archive Trap (OTP)

Instant — Trap

If an opponent searched their library this turn, you may pay {0} rather than pay this spell's mana cost. Target opponent mills thirteen cards.

Reliable mill engine for blue control and dedicated mill strategies. Archive Trap's conditional cost reduction makes it a powerful tempo play in formats where library search is common—particularly Modern, where fetchlands ensure the trap triggers for free. At full cost it's expensive, but the zero-mana potential transforms it into a game-ending threat that punishes opponents for ramping or tutoring. Best in dedicated mill decks or as a sideboard answer in control mirrors.
