About Cathartic Operation

Cathartic Operation, Instant, designed by Julia Metzger first released in May, 2024 in the set Alchemy: Outlaws of Thunder Junction.

Cathartic Operation would be particularly beneficial in a control or reanimator deck that aims to recycle key creatures while also digging for essential noncreature spells, such as removal or card draw. While this card offers decent value, alternatives like Eternal Witness or Archaeomancer might be more effective in certain builds, as they can recur spells directly from the graveyard and provide additional synergy with other spells. Overall, Cathartic Operation could see play in specific strategies that value both creature recursion and card selection, but its effectiveness would depend on the overall synergy and needs of the deck.
