About Tar Snare

Tar Snare, Instant, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in Jan, 2016 in the set Oath of the Gatewatch and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.36.

Tar Snare would fit well in a black control or midrange deck that seeks to manage the board state by weakening opposing creatures, particularly against aggressive strategies. While it can effectively deal with smaller creatures or weaken larger threats temporarily, there are arguably more versatile options available, such as Fatal Push or Murder, which can outright destroy creatures regardless of their power and toughness. However, if your deck is focused on maximizing the value of temporary effects or synergizing with cards that benefit from weakened creatures, Tar Snare could still see play, especially in a meta where creature toughness is low.
