About Ego Drain

Ego Drain, Sorcery, designed by Valera Lutfullina first released in Aug, 2023 in the set Wilds of Eldraine. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.01.

A deck that focuses on disruption and hand control, such as a Black-Blue Faerie tribal deck in Magic: the Gathering, would benefit from using Ego Drain. However, more efficient and versatile options like Thoughtseize or Inquisition of Kozilek may be better choices for similar effects, as they don't require specific creature types to be effective. Ego Drain could see play in niche decks that specifically benefit from its Faerie requirement or in casual Faerie tribal decks for thematic reasons, but it may not be a top choice for competitive play due to its limitations.
