How does Theater of Horrors work in MTG?
Theater of Horrors is pretty neat! It's an enchantment that lets you exile the top card of your library during your upkeep if you dealt damage to your opponent last turn. The cool part? You can play those exiled cards as long as Theater of Horrors remains on the battlefield. But wait, there's more - for 3 mana (1 generic, 1 black, 1 red), you can ping your opponent for 1 damage, ensuring you always have access to your exiled cards. It's like having extra cards in hand that your opponent can't touch!

Just to play devil's advocate, while Theater of Horrors sounds cool, it does require you to consistently deal damage to your opponent to make the most of it. In games where you're behind, it might not be as useful.
From personal experience, Theater of Horrors can be a game-changer in the right deck. I once pulled off a comeback from 1 life because it gave me access to more options. It's all about that damage though, keep the pressure up!
