About Manticore of the Gauntlet

Manticore of the Gauntlet, Creature — manticore, designed by James Paick first released in Apr, 2017 in the set Amonkhet. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.12.

This card could be beneficial in a red aggressive deck looking to apply pressure and deal direct damage to the opponent or planeswalkers. However, the downside of putting a -1/-1 counter on one of your creatures upon entering the battlefield may limit its effectiveness in certain strategies. Other cards like Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning might be more efficient in terms of direct damage without the drawback, making them potentially better choices for decks focused on quick and efficient aggression. Ultimately, whether Manticore of the Gauntlet sees play would depend on the specific deck strategy and meta considerations.

Rules
