About Scalding Tongs

Scalding Tongs, Artifact, designed by Randy Gallegos first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.15.

Scalding Tongs fits well in a low-to-the-ground aggro or burn deck, where maintaining a low hand size can be a strategic advantage to apply consistent pressure on opponents while dealing incremental damage. However, there are likely better options for consistent damage output, such as Chandra, Pyromaster, which can deal damage while providing card advantage and board presence. While Scalding Tongs can see play in niche strategies that focus on hand size manipulation, it may not be the most efficient choice compared to more versatile or impactful cards in competitive formats.
