About Ionize

Ionize, Instant, designed by Chase Stone first released in Oct, 2018 in the set Guilds of Ravnica and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Pioneer. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.03.

This card, Ionize, would be beneficial in a control deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's game plan while also applying pressure. Its ability to counter a spell and deal damage to the controller can help control the board and put the opponent on the back foot. However, in a competitive Magic: the Gathering environment, there are arguably better options like Counterspell or Cryptic Command that offer more versatility and impact for the same mana cost. Ionize could still see play in certain situations, especially in decks that require both a counter and direct damage effect.
