About Dihada's Ploy
Dihada's Ploy, Instant, designed by Jason A. Engle first released in June 2021 in the set Modern Horizons 2. It see play in 1 format: Pauper. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.49.
This card, Dihada's Ploy, would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on card advantage and life gain strategies, especially in a Dimir (Blue-Black) deck. It provides card draw, life gain, and the ability to be recast from the graveyard with jump-start, making it versatile and powerful in longer games. However, there are potentially better cards like Chemister's Insight which offers similar card advantage without the life gain, making it more consistent in certain strategies. Overall, Dihada's Ploy could see play in specific control decks that can take advantage of its unique abilities.
Rules
06/18/2021
A spell cast using jump-start will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, it's countered, or it leaves the stack in some other way.
06/18/2021
Dihada's Ploy counts the total number of cards discarded, including the card you discard as part of its effect and any cards you discarded prior to its resolution this turn. If you cast it with jump-start, this includes the card you discarded to cast it.
06/18/2021
If a card with jump-start is put into your graveyard during your turn, you'll be able to cast it right away if it's legal to do so, before an opponent can take any actions.
06/18/2021
If an effect allows you to pay an alternative cost rather than a spell's mana cost, you may pay that alternative cost when you jump-start a spell. You'll still discard a card as an additional cost to cast it.
06/18/2021
If the card draws are replaced by another effect, you will still discard a card and gain life. If you don't have any cards to discard, it will still count any cards previously discarded this turn.
