About Sorcerous Spyglass

Sorcerous Spyglass, Artifact, designed by Kieran Yanner first released in Sep, 2017 in the set Ixalan Promos and was printed exactly in 12 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.02.

A control deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's strategy would benefit from using Sorcerous Spyglass, as it provides valuable information about the opponent's hand and can shut down key activated abilities. While Sorcerous Spyglass is a solid choice, some decks may prefer Pithing Needle for its lower cost and broader application, allowing it to target any activated ability regardless of the card name. However, Sorcerous Spyglass can be a strong sideboard option in certain matchups where specific activated abilities need to be neutralized, making it worth considering for play in the right deck.
