About Wizard's Retort

Wizard's Retort, Instant, designed by Grzegorz Rutkowski first released in May, 2020 in the set Dominaria and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 23.81.

A deck that focuses on Wizard tribal synergies would benefit from including Wizard's Retort, as it provides a cost reduction when you control a Wizard and serves as a versatile counter spell. However, in competitive Magic: the Gathering play, more efficient counterspells like Mana Leak or Force of Will are often preferred over Wizard's Retort due to their broader applicability and lower casting cost, making Wizard's Retort less likely to see play in top-tier decks.
