About Blood Lust

Blood Lust, Instant, designed by Anson Maddocks first released in Jun, 1994 in the set Legends and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.09.

A deck that focuses on aggressive red creatures with lower toughness values would benefit from including Blood Lust, as it can provide a powerful boost to those creatures when attacking. However, there are potentially better options available such as Lightning Bolt or Shock, which offer more versatile and efficient removal or direct damage. Whether Blood Lust should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, as well as the current metagame trends.

Rules

11/01/05

Has changed slightly in functionality, with the old continuous nature of the toughness reduction gone away; the toughness change remains static. For example, if you have three Swamps and Nightmare on the battlefield and then cast Blood Lust on it, it will become 7/1. If one of your Swamps is subsequently destroyed, your Nightmare will become 6/0 and be put in the graveyard.
