About Mark for Death

Mark for Death, Sorcery, designed by Mathias Kollros first released in Feb, 2013 in the set Gatecrash. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.73.

A deck focused on aggressive strategies and combat manipulation would benefit from using Mark for Death, as it can force an opponent's creature to block while preventing their other creatures from blocking, potentially opening up a clear path for a decisive attack. However, there are more versatile and powerful options like Savage Beating or Master Warcraft that offer similar effects with added flexibility, making them better choices for decks looking to control combat situations effectively. While Mark for Death has situational uses, it may not see widespread play in competitive Magic: The Gathering decks due to its limitations compared to other available options.

Rules

01/24/13

If there are any costs required for that creature to block (such as the one imposed by War Cadence), the creature’s controller isn’t required to pay those costs. In that case, the requirement to block would do nothing.

01/24/13

That creature’s controller still decides which attacking creature it blocks.
