About Cankerous Thirst

Cankerous Thirst, Instant, designed by Carl Frank first released in Jul, 2008 in the set Eventide. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.48.

A deck that focuses on a Golgari color combination, utilizing both black and green mana sources, would benefit from using Cankerous Thirst due to its flexibility in providing both removal and buff options based on the mana spent. While Cankerous Thirst offers versatility, more efficient cards like Abrupt Decay or Assassin's Trophy may be better choices for targeted removal in competitive play, but Cankerous Thirst could still see play in casual or themed decks looking for a versatile option that fits the color identity.
