Hithlain Rope is an artifact card in Magic: The Gathering with some unique and interactive mechanics. Here's how it works:

• Indestructible: Hithlain Rope can't be sacrificed or destroyed by normal means, making it a resilient artifact on the battlefield.

• Mana Ability: By paying 1 and tapping Hithlain Rope, you can activate its first ability. This ability allows you to search your library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped. Afterward, you shuffle your library. However, the player to your right gains control of Hithlain Rope. This means that you can use the rope to fix your mana and get the land you need, but it will eventually pass to the player on your right.

• Card Draw Ability: By paying 2 and tapping Hithlain Rope, you can activate its second ability. This allows you to draw a card from your library. Again, the player to your right gains control of Hithlain Rope. This ability provides card advantage but comes at the cost of relinquishing control of the artifact.

Key Points:

• Hithlain Rope's abilities create an interesting dynamic in multiplayer games, as it encourages players to pass the artifact around the table to gain its benefits.

• The artifact can help you fix your mana or draw extra cards, but it comes at the price of allowing your opponents to eventually gain control of it.

• The order of players around the table can influence the timing and impact of using Hithlain Rope's abilities.

• Keep in mind that other cards or effects that modify control or ownership can further influence the artifact's journey around the table.
