About Slaying Mantis

Slaying Mantis, Creature — insect wrestler, designed by Ben Wootten first released in Dec, 2017 in the set Unstable and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.48.

A deck that focuses on creature removal and combat tricks would benefit from using Slaying Mantis, as it offers a unique and powerful way to clear the opponent's board while potentially leaving your creatures unscathed. However, in a competitive Magic: the Gathering environment, Slaying Mantis may not see play due to its high mana cost and situational nature. Cards like Fight spells such as Prey Upon or Pounce might be more efficient options for creature removal in most decks.

Rules

02/29/20

If you create a token that’s a copy of Slaying Mantis, it also enters via flying elbow. However, you must use a Magic card-sized object to represent the token. As Slaying Mantis’s just a second ability won’t apply, players can move around their permanents at any time, including while Slaying Mantis is in flight. So that’s fun.

02/29/20

Just a second is a variant of split second. Announcing Slaying Mantis instantly locks all permanents in place on the battlefield. As long as Slaying Mantis is on the stack, players can’t cast spells, activate abilities, or move their permanents.

02/29/20

No player may interfere with the throwing of Slaying Mantis, including while it’s in flight.

02/29/20

Slaying Mantis will fight any creature an opponent controls that it touched as it entered, even if it didn’t end up touching that creature when it stopped moving.
