About Desperate Ravings

Desperate Ravings, Instant, designed by John Stanko first released in Sep, 2011 in the set Innistrad and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.49.

Desperate Ravings would benefit a deck that focuses on card advantage and graveyard interactions, such as a control or tempo deck. While it provides card draw and the potential for card selection, the random discard can be a drawback. Other cards like Faithless Looting or Chart a Course offer more reliable card selection, making them potentially better options depending on the deck's strategy. Desperate Ravings could see play in decks that value its instant speed and flashback ability, but its randomness may limit its overall effectiveness compared to other options.

Rules

03/19/21

A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.

03/19/21

If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it’s legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.

03/19/21

You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card’s type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.

06/08/16

You draw two cards and discard one randomly all while Desperate Ravings is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
