About Close Encounter

Close Encounter, Instant, designed by Inkognit first released in July 2025 in the set Edge of Eternities. It see play in 1 format: Standard. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.01.

Close Encounter could be a useful inclusion in a deck that focuses on aggressive creature strategies, as it provides a potential removal option while also leveraging the power of your own creatures. However, its situational nature may limit its overall effectiveness compared to more versatile removal spells like Fight cards or instant-speed removal spells. Depending on the specific deck and strategy, Close Encounter may or may not see play, with potential alternatives such as Prey Upon or Ram Through being more consistent choices for removal in many scenarios.
