About Absorb
Absorb, Instant, designed by Andrew Goldhawk first released in May, 2020 in the set Invasion and was printed exactly in 8 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 5.29.
Absorb would be a great addition to a control deck in Magic: the Gathering, particularly one that focuses on gaining incremental advantages and disrupting the opponent's game plan. While Absorb provides a solid way to counter a spell and gain life, there are potentially better options like Cryptic Command or Mana Drain that offer more versatile effects. However, Absorb could still see play in certain metagames where the life gain is relevant or if the deck needs additional counterspells.
Rules
01/25/19
A spell that can’t be countered is a legal target for Absorb. The spell won’t be countered when Absorb resolves, but you’ll still gain 3 life.
