great card for one mana which really helps you kill your opponents early combos >:)

One of the better hand disruption cards in type two, its a good early drop in a discard deck and you don't have to worry about Dodecapod like you do with such cards as Mind Rot, Funeral Charm, and Stupor. Good when paired with The Rack or Megrim.

blackmail is a excellent card, if u have that, animate dead and a big creature u just use it on yourself and then u got a huge creature for 3 mana its great

not a bad card for players who like to keep a few instants in thier hand to use as suprises. has potential for causing cheap damage w/ megrim...
