About Familiar's Ruse

Familiar's Ruse, Instant, designed by Eric Fortune first released in May, 2020 in the set Lorwyn and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.62. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck that focuses on tempo and control strategies would benefit from including Familiar's Ruse, as it allows for the flexibility of countering a spell while also potentially triggering beneficial enter-the-battlefield effects. However, in a competitive setting, cards like Mana Leak or Force of Will may be more efficient choices for counterspells due to their broader applicability and lower mana cost, making Familiar's Ruse less likely to see play in top-tier decks.
