About Soul Spike

Soul Spike, Instant, designed by Wayne England first released in Jul, 2006 in the set Coldsnap. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 79.39.

This card, Soul Spike, would benefit a black-heavy control deck that aims to gain life and deal damage simultaneously. While it offers flexibility with its alternate casting cost, it may not be the most efficient choice compared to cards like Lightning Helix or Kolaghan's Command, which offer similar effects with added utility. However, in a deck focused on life gain and burn strategies, Soul Spike could find a niche role and see play as a situational finisher or stabilizer.

Rules

You can’t exile a card from your hand to pay for itself. At the time you would pay costs, that card is on the stack, not in your hand.

07/15/06

You may pay the alternative cost rather than the card’s mana cost. Any additional costs are paid as normal.
