About Measure of Wickedness

Measure of Wickedness, Enchantment, designed by Daren Bader first released in Jun, 2005 in the set Saviors of Kamigawa. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.69.

This card could be beneficial in a deck that focuses on self-mill strategies or graveyard recursion, as it can potentially disrupt your opponent's game plan by switching control of Measure of Wickedness. However, the downside of losing 8 life each turn can be significant, so it would be best suited for a deck that can either mitigate life loss or capitalize on the card advantage gained from the switching effect. While Measure of Wickedness has its niche uses, there are likely better options available, such as Liliana's Contract, which provides card advantage without the life loss drawback, making it a more reliable choice for competitive play.

Rules

06/01/05

Once the at-end-of-turn ability triggers, it affects the player who controlled Measure of Wickedness at that time. If Measure of Wickedness is under a different player’s control as its at-end-of-turn ability resolves, however, Measure of Wickedness stays on the battlefield.
