One of the five crime families of New Capenna, the Obscura are gifted magicians. They are associated with {W}{U}{B} mana, but are centered in blue.[1][2]

Description

The Obscura are talented wizards and mystics who use their power to deceive and blackmail, using distractions, illusions, and hidden mechanisms. They orchestrate scenarios and manipulate outcomes to their benefit. They endeavor to maintain a façade of normalcy in their everyday lives which allows them to run their schemes without disruption.

History

Before the city's founding, the Obscura served as mystics, wizards, and advisers to the Angels.[1]

Exactors are family members who collect and parse evidence to find patterns and new information. Echo Readers are able to view spectral afterimages. They work in teams, speaking simultaneously as they experience past events. Ruiners destroy an individual's reputation[3]

Mechanics

The Obscura mechanic is Connive, which loots, then adds +1/+1 counters on the conniving creature for each discarded nonland card.
