Behold is a mechanic introduced in Tarkir: Dragonstorm where it tied to the Dragon creature type.[1] It allows a player to trade information for an additional effect.
Description
A player can behold an object if they have a corresponding object in their hand to be revealed, or if they control a corresponding object on the battlefield. The keyword is similar to the Dragons-matter cycle of cards in Dragons of Tarkir, which have additional effects if the controller revealed or controlled a Dragon.
Initially the Behold mechanic was restricted to Dragons, tying in with the themes of Tarkir: Dragonstorm. Mark Rosewater has announced that it will be deciduous.[2] It is especially suited to care about big powerful things that are slow to come into play.
