About Dust

Dust, Sorcery, designed by Josh Hass first released in Jul, 2017 in the set Hour of Devastation Promos and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.35.

This card could be useful in a deck that focuses on -1/-1 counters and controlling the board through creature removal. Decks that rely on -1/-1 counters to weaken opponents' creatures would benefit from Dust's ability to exile those creatures. However, there are other cards like Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons that provide more value by creating -1/-1 counters on their own, making Dust less essential in those decks. In a meta with many decks that rely on creatures with -1/-1 counters, Dust could see play as a sideboard option for removal, but its effectiveness may vary depending on the specific matchups.

Rules

07/14/17

If one of Dust’s target creatures loses its -1/-1 counters, leaves the battlefield, or otherwise becomes an illegal target before the spell resolves, it won’t be exiled, but the remaining legal targets will be exiled.

04/18/17

A spell with aftermath cast from a graveyard will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, it’s countered, or it leaves the stack in some other way.

04/18/17

Each split card is a single card. For example, if you discard one, you’ve discarded one card, not two. If an effect counts the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard, Destined // Lead counts once, not twice.

04/18/17

If another effect allows you to cast a split card with aftermath from any zone other than a graveyard, you can’t cast the half with aftermath.

04/18/17

Split cards with aftermath have a new frame treatment—the half you can cast from your hand is oriented the same as other cards you’d cast from your hand, while the half you can cast from your graveyard is a traditional split card half. This frame treatment is for your convenience and has no rules significance.

04/18/17

While not on the stack, the characteristics of a split card are the combination of its two halves. For example, Destined // Lead is a green and black card, it is both an instant card and a sorcery card, and its converted mana cost is 6. This means that if an effect allows you to cast a card with converted mana cost 2 from your hand, you can’t cast Destined. This is a change from the previous rules for split cards.
