About Punctuate

Punctuate, Instant, designed by Jim Pavelec first released in Nov, 2004 in the set Unhinged. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.16.

Punctuate would fit well in a deck that focuses on controlling the board with creature removal, particularly in a red spell-based strategy that can capitalize on the number of punctuation marks in opponents' creature text boxes, such as a punctuation theme deck or a deck that features creatures with extensive abilities. While Punctuate offers a unique form of damage, there are arguably more efficient removal options like Lightning Bolt or Shock, which deal direct damage for a lower cost and without reliance on the opponent's card text. However, its novelty and potential for high damage in certain matchups could make it a fun inclusion, particularly in casual formats, though it may not be competitive enough for serious play.
