About Trap Essence
Trap Essence, Instant, designed by Raymond Swanland first released in Sep, 2014 in the set Khans of Tarkir Promos and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.70.
A deck that focuses on tempo and aggression, such as a Simic or Temur deck in Standard or Modern, would benefit from using Trap Essence. It can serve as both a counter spell to stop a creature spell and a way to buff one of your own creatures. While Trap Essence has its advantages, there are potentially better cards like Mystic Snake or Mana Leak for pure countering spells, or cards like Collected Company for creature value. Trap Essence could see play as a versatile option in the right deck, but its inclusion would depend on the specific strategy and metagame.
