About Illusionist's Gambit
Illusionist's Gambit, Instant, designed by Zoltan Boros first released in May 2020 in the set Commander 2013 and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 format: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.88.
Illusionist's Gambit would benefit decks that focus on controlling the board and disrupting their opponent's combat strategies, such as control or tempo decks. While it can create interesting combat situations and potentially swing the game in your favor, there are better options available like Settle the Wreckage or Cyclonic Rift that offer more flexibility and control. Illusionist's Gambit could be a fun and unexpected inclusion in certain decks for its unique effect, but it may not see consistent play in competitive settings due to its situational nature and higher mana cost.
Rules
10/17/2013
Creatures that didn’t attack during the combat phase when Illusionist’s Gambit resolved aren’t required to attack in the additional combat phase, although they may. Those creatures can attack you or a planeswalker you control.
10/17/2013
If there’s a cost associated with having a creature attack, the player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t have to attack.
10/17/2013
If, during a player's declare attackers step, a creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, or hasn't been under that player's control continuously since the turn began (and doesn't have haste), then it doesn't attack.
