About Skewer the Critics

Skewer the Critics, Sorcery, designed by Heonhwa Choe first released in Jan, 2019 in the set Ravnica Allegiance and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Pauper. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.14.

Skewer the Critics is a great addition to aggressive red decks looking to finish off opponents quickly, especially in formats where dealing damage to opponents is common. While it may not be the most powerful burn spell available, its flexibility with the Spectacle cost can provide a significant tempo advantage. In a deck focused on dealing damage quickly and efficiently, Skewer the Critics can be a solid inclusion, but there are stronger burn spells like Lightning Bolt that may be preferred in more competitive settings.

Damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life.

01/25/19

In a multiplayer game, if an opponent loses life and later that turn leaves the game, you can cast a spell for its spectacle cost. (If a player leaves the game during their turn, that turn continues without an active player.)

01/25/19

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying (such as a spectacle cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
