About Sigil Tracer

Sigil Tracer, Creature — merfolk wizard, designed by Dan Murayama Scott first released in Feb, 2008 in the set Morningtide. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 3.76.

Sigil Tracer is best suited for a control or tempo deck that focuses on spell manipulation and maximizing the value of instant and sorcery spells, particularly in formats like Commander or Modern where Wizards are prevalent. Decks that utilize a high density of instants and sorceries, such as those featuring blue spells for countering or card draw, would benefit greatly from its ability to copy spells. While there are other cards like Narset, Parter of Veils or Aetherflux Reservoir that can provide powerful synergies in similar decks, Sigil Tracer offers unique utility in Wizard tribal builds. Overall, it should see play in such decks, especially where tapping multiple Wizards is feasible, but its effectiveness will depend on the specific meta and deck composition.
