The Unstable Agents of S.N.E.A.K. faction (Black manaBlue mana) is a Bablovian kleptocracy, or a government ruled by thieves. They actually are really bad spies with cool toys.[1][2]

Description

Even the Agents of S.N.E.A.K. themselves can't agree on what the letters in their name stand for.[3] Whoever is in possession of the Golden Ruler becomes leader of the organization.[2] This has led to many government turnovers, although most of those were the same three people. The current leader is Phoebe. Most leadership changes are attributed to a shadowy figure known only as X, constantly paid by different sources to steal the Golden Ruler.

Mechanics

The Agents of S.N.E.A.K. Contraptions do one of four things:

  1. They mess with information (drawing you cards or making your opponent discard cards).
  2. They make creatures deadlier or harder to block.
  3. They make creature tokens.
  4. They have effects that scale with the number of creatures you control.

These effects all have a "spy" feel to them.[4]
