About Unexpectedly Absent

Unexpectedly Absent, Instant, designed by Min Yum first released in Nov, 2013 in the set Commander 2013 and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.15.

Unexpectedly Absent can be a valuable addition to control decks in Magic: the Gathering, allowing players to temporarily remove a threatening nonland permanent from the battlefield and potentially delay its return. While it can be a useful tool for dealing with problematic threats, there are more efficient options available such as Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares, which provide permanent removal at a lower cost. Ultimately, Unexpectedly Absent may see situational play in certain control strategies, but it may not be a staple card in competitive decks due to its higher mana cost and the availability of more efficient alternatives.
