About Artful Dodge

Artful Dodge, Sorcery, designed by Tomasz Jedruszek first released in Feb, 2012 in the set Dark Ascension. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.93.

A deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and evasion would benefit from including Artful Dodge, as it can help ensure that a key creature can get through for damage. However, there are potentially better options like Distortion Strike, which also grants unblockable but has the added bonus of rebound, allowing it to be cast again for free on the next turn. Whether Artful Dodge should see play depends on the specific deck and its game plan, but it can certainly be a valuable inclusion in the right context.

Rules

03/19/21

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

03/19/21

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

03/19/21

“Flashback [cost]” means “You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack.”
