  • @tedtroyer5423
    @tedtroyer5423 2 года назад +1

    There are also some blue instants that return a permanent an opponent controls to the top of their deck. I made a casual booby trap deck that included Griptide, Commit//Memory, and Vanishment. These worked not only as soft removal for the opponent's threats, but also allowed me to guarantee the card that the opponent was going to draw.
    There is also Second sight that lets you look at the top 5 cards of the opponents library and rearrange them in the order you want.
    All of these are instant speed, so I would often cast them the turn before I untapped and cast the booby trap, allowing me to set up the kill much more easily.

  • @KelrictheMinion

    *Looks to the Modern metagame where Hammer Time is still one of the top placing decks % wise, which has about 33% of their deck consisting of artifacts, not to mention the karn structs from Urza's saga*
    Yeah it is a pretty brutal card even for them. Especially if they are low on mana sources, which usually ends up paying for them, making then unable to advance their board state in most circumstances until removal spell is found.

    I feel like this deck wants to play some artifact clones. You know you want to get 2 Booby Traps into play but short of drawing AND hard casting them your only strategy is having a Mishra in play. Phyrexian Metamorph would let you get a second Booby Trap for 3 mana (and 2 life) and worst case scenario you can copy any of your other artifacts to help as needed. Same thing without the life loss with Sculpting Steel. You could also just copy your opponent's creature with Metamorph to buy time if need be.
    Bonus value for the ability to play a metamorph copying nothing to instantly die and turn on revolt for Fatal Push!!!!!!
