Draft & Sealed Synergies

Best cards to pair with Memory Trap in Reality Fracture limited

common

Budding Insurgent
Budding Insurgent
Creature — Dryad Scout

Budding Insurgent can sacrifice itself to destroy Memory Trap if you need to return the exiled permanent to its owner (or if you want to replay Memory Trap), giving you flexible enchantment removal within your own deck.

Afterthought Sentry
Afterthought Sentry
Artifact Creature — Gargoyle

Afterthought Sentry exiles cards from graveyards, complementing Memory Trap's exile effect to deny opponents their permanents and graveyard resources simultaneously.

Shatterwing Pegasus
Shatterwing Pegasus
Creature — Pegasus

Shatterwing Pegasus is a flying blocker that protects Memory Trap from being attacked around, since opponents can't easily attack the enchantment directly and must deal with your aerial defense.

uncommon

Danitha, Sword of Hope
Danitha, Sword of Hope
Legendary Creature — Human Knight

Danitha draws a card whenever you cast a spell that targets a creature you control, and Memory Trap is an enchantment that enters targeting an opponent's permanent, but more importantly Danitha rewards the white enchantment-heavy strategy Memory Trap supports.

rare

Solitary Cell
Solitary Cell
Artifact

Solitary Cell also exiles a nonland permanent when it enters, and together with Memory Trap you can exile two of your opponent's key permanents, severely limiting their board presence in limited.
