About Spread the Sickness

Spread the Sickness, Sorcery, designed by Jaime Jones first released in Feb, 2011 in the set Mirrodin Besieged and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.17.

This card, Spread the Sickness, would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on removing threats and gaining incremental advantage through proliferating counters. While it offers targeted removal and the potential to strengthen your own board state, there are more efficient options available such as Murder or Vraska's Contempt for removal and cards like Inexorable Tide for proliferating. Spread the Sickness could see play in a slower, grindy deck that values versatility and incremental advantage, but there are more streamlined options for specific strategies.

Rules

03/19/21

If a permanent has +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it, they’re removed in pairs as a state-based action so that the permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.

03/19/21

You don’t have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since “any number” includes zero, you don’t have to choose any permanents at all, and you don’t have to choose any players at all.

06/01/11

If the creature is an illegal target when Spread the Sickness tries to resolve, the spell doesn’t resolve. You won’t proliferate.
