About Self-Destruct
Self-Destruct, Instant, designed by Liiga Smilshkalne first released in May 2025 in the set Final Fantasy. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.85.
A mono-red aggressive deck focusing on high-power creatures, such as red dragons or goblins, would benefit most from Self-Destruct in Magic: The Gathering. However, a better alternative would be cards like Fling, which don't cause damage to your own creature. Self-Destruct could see situational play in decks looking for direct damage or combo potential but may be too risky for consistent use.
Rules
06/06/2025
If the target creature you control is an illegal target as Self-Destruct tries to resolve, the creature you control won't deal damage. If the creature you control is a legal target but the other target isn't, your creature will still deal damage to itself.
06/06/2025
The value of X is calculated only once, as Self-Destruct resolves.
