About Bend or Break

Bend or Break, Sorcery, designed by Arnie Swekel first released in Oct, 2000 in the set Invasion. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 1.41.

Bend or Break is particularly effective in decks that focus on land destruction or control strategies, as it can disrupt opponents' mana bases while potentially preserving your own resources. Decks that utilize red's aggressive strategies or landfall mechanics could benefit from this card by forcing opponents to lose vital lands while maintaining their own. However, there are arguably better options like Ruination or Armageddon, which can outright destroy all lands or set back opponents more severely without giving them a chance to tap lands. While Bend or Break has its niche, its situational nature and reliance on opponents' choices may limit its effectiveness, suggesting it might not see widespread play compared to more straightforward land destruction spells.
