About Skewer the Critics

Skewer the Critics, Sorcery, designed by Heonhwa Choe first released in Jan, 2019 in the set Ravnica Allegiance and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 5 formats: Pioneer, Modern, Pauper, Legacy and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.09.

A deck that focuses on dealing damage quickly and consistently, such as a Red Aggro or Burn deck, would benefit from including Skewer the Critics. Its Spectacle cost allows for more efficient casting, especially in aggressive strategies where opponents are likely to lose life early in the game. While there may be more powerful burn spells available, Skewer the Critics is a solid inclusion for decks looking to maintain pressure and close out games swiftly.

Rules

01/25/19

Damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life.

01/25/19

In a multiplayer game, if an opponent loses life and later that turn leaves the game, you can cast a spell for its spectacle cost. (If a player leaves the game during their turn, that turn continues without an active player.)

01/25/19

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying (such as a spectacle cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
