Stranglehold, Enchantment, designed by John Stanko first released in Jun, 2011 in the set Commander 2011 and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's a key card in 3 combos.
Stranglehold is particularly beneficial in control or stax decks that aim to disrupt opponents' strategies and limit their options, as it prevents library searches and extra turns, which can be crucial in slowing down combo decks or those reliant on specific cards. While there are other cards that can achieve similar goals, such as Winter Orb or Armageddon, which can also restrict resources and play patterns, Stranglehold's unique effects make it a solid choice in a meta where extra turn spells and library manipulation are prevalent. Overall, it should see play in the right deck, especially in formats like Commander where such disruptions can significantly impact the game.

Effects that instruct your opponents to reveal or look at cards from the top of their libraries will still work. Only effects that use the word “search” are affected.

If an effect says “You may search your library . . . If you do, shuffle your library” or “You may search your library . . . then shuffle your library,” your opponents can’t choose to search, so they won’t shuffle.

If an opponent’s extra turn is created while Stranglehold is on the battlefield, but Stranglehold leaves the battlefield before that turn would begin, that opponent takes the extra turn as normal.
