Kitsune's Technique

Rare · Instant

Pick rating

5.0PlayableRank 124 of 190

A solid playable that rarely gets cut (5.0/10).

Why. An instant that makes the opponent mill half their library, rounded up. It costs only two mana with Sneak, but six otherwise.

Risks. It does not win the game unless you already have a plan to finish. In a normal deck it is too slow and has no impact on the board.

In the draft. Pass it in almost every deck. Only a deck built around this kind of effect can play it.

Win rate by colour pair

Percentage of games won by the decks of each pair that play the card, with the number of games. The pairs are the two main colors of the deck: when the card has a color outside the pair, the deck plays it as a splash (marked “splash”). A pair that has an archetype in this set leads to its guide.
