  "myth_connection": "Library 1.3.2 makes Orpheus's recovery of Eurydice depend on not looking back. This spell turns preservation of a conditional return into a decision during danger. The attacking-creature exile is a protective game abstraction, not an invented monster pursuing Eurydice in the myth.",
  "narrative_beat": "Spend a finite answer to protect the second chance instead of treating the returned life as expendable.",
  "design_note": "A cheap combat reversal protects all our marked creatures, but needs a legal attacking target. It does not protect unmarked Hades and cannot answer a stationary engine; the remaining removal covers that job.",
  "signature_demo": null,
  "counterplay": "The target can be removed or phased out in response so the whole spell fails to resolve. Exile, bounce, and toughness reduction before resolution or after the protection ends still work. Force the defensive spell before deploying a second threat.",
  "art_brief": "Orpheus walks toward a small wedge of daylight with his face resolutely forward; Eurydice follows one step behind. Two figures and the light are the whole composition.",

## Exact actual generation prompt

```text
Use case: product-mockup
Asset type: one complete custom Magic: The Gathering card face for Clash.
Create a high-resolution flat upright 5:7 card, full black outside border visible, no photographic perspective.
Image 1 is FRAME/LAYOUT reference ONLY. Match its modern conventional proportions, title at top left, mana top right, landscape art window, type bar below art, pale lower rules panel, rare oval and compact black footer. Replace all reference words and illustration.
Last image is ART STYLE/SET MARK reference ONLY: approved Clash Hades commander, its painterly fantasy realism and small lightning mark. Do not copy its Nyx or creature frame unless explicitly required below. Never copy its card data.
Frame: ordinary modern white-black multicolor instant, gold bars, no crown, no Nyx. No P/T badge.
Typography: crisp Beleren-style name/type and Plantin-style rules serif. Keep name on one line and clear the mana; full type line clear of the small set mark. Generous readable rules, natural paragraph breaks.
Art: Orpheus walks toward a small wedge of daylight with his face resolutely forward; Eurydice follows one step behind. Two figures and the light are the whole composition.
One focal narrative moment. Restrained charcoal, pale stone, muted gold and natural light. Keep only the scene's useful supporting details, with quiet background. Painting contained inside the landscape art window. No letters in painting.

EXACT CARD DATA. Do not print these labels or quotation marks.
Name: Do Not Look Back
Mana cost: {W}{B}
Render every mana token as its correct circular glyph in EXACT order: numerals neutral circles, W white sun, B black skull. Inline {T} must be proper curved-arrow TAP symbol, not letter T. No literal braces or W/B letters.
Type: Instant
Rules, preserving paragraphs and exact wording:
Exile target attacking creature.

Creatures you control with finality counters on them gain hexproof and indestructible until end of turn.
No power/toughness.
Rarity: rare; small gold lightning-bolt mark at right end of type bar.
Footer: CLASH • CUSTOM • PLAYTEST
Collector identifier: H03
Standard small centered bottom rare oval.
No flavor, no finality reminder, no invented reminder or other text, no artist or official release identity. Do not omit restrictions or invent mechanics; exact supplied card data must all be present. 
No ornate alternative UI, no oversized frame decorations, no text over busy artwork, no title/cost overlap, no missing bottom border.
For exact rarity consistency, the rare set lightning mark is muted metallic GOLD, not orange, amber, red or copper. Frame surface is plain subtle metal/paper texture: absolutely no star-shaped sparkles, glitter, constellations or Nyx star field in crown or side rails.
```

## Observed visual QA

Passed exact WB, title, Instant and both full rules paragraphs: target attacking creature; all controlled creatures with finality counters gain hexproof and indestructible until end of turn. Ordinary gold frame, no crown/P/T/Nyx; muted gold rare mark. Orpheus faces forward toward daylight, Eurydice behind.

Output dimensions: 1062 × 1482 pixels.
