Brain in a Jar (SOI-252) is a Rare artifact from the Shadows over Innistrad expansion. An activated ability builds charge counters to let you cast an instant or sorcery from your hand without paying its mana cost, and a separate ability removes counters to scry. That combination makes it a value engine in spell-focused or artifact-synergy decks, providing card selection and free spells.
