The Claw

About The Claw

The Claw, Item, designed by None first released in May 2026 in the set Wilds Unknown. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.18.

**The Claw** fits best in aggressive or tempo‑oriented Emerald decks that generate expendable characters (like low‑cost flood characters or cards that create value on play/banish) because it turns a small body into premium tempo by bouncing an opposing character, especially one with high ink cost or strong quest pressure. It synergizes well with decks that *want* characters banished (e.g., those with “when banished” effects or recursion), making the cost less painful. However, it is generally slower and more resource‑intensive than alternatives like **Mother Knows Best** (cheaper, immediate bounce without sacrificing a character) or other direct removal/bounce tools in Emerald and Steel that don’t require you to give up board presence. Because it costs 4 ink to play, 2 more ink to activate, requires exerting, and banishing your own character, it’s usually less efficient than other tempo options unless your deck is specifically built to exploit the sacrifice. As a result, it’s niche and
