About Nemesis Trap

Nemesis Trap, Instant — trap, designed by Ryan Pancoast first released in Feb, 2010 in the set Worldwake and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of £ 0.01.

Nemesis Trap would be particularly effective in a black control or midrange deck that aims to counter or remove threats while also generating value from the opponent's creatures. Decks that focus on exploiting opponent's aggressive strategies, especially those featuring white creatures, would benefit from its ability to exile a key attacker and create a temporary copy for potential use. While there are other removal options like Murder or Fatal Push that are more versatile and cost-effective, Nemesis Trap's unique ability to create a token can provide additional value in the right circumstances. Overall, it can see play in specific metas where white creatures are prevalent, but it may not be a staple in every black deck due to the availability of more efficient removal spells.
