About Balancing Act
Balancing Act, Sorcery, designed by Scott M. Fischer first released in Oct, 2001 in the set Odyssey. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 314.17. It's a key card in 1 combos.
A deck that focuses on maintaining a small board presence while disrupting the opponent's board would benefit from including Balancing Act. Decks that utilize token strategies or have ways to quickly rebuild their board after sacrificing permanents could make good use of this card. However, for more competitive play, the card Cataclysm is often considered a stronger option as it allows for more selective destruction of permanents. Balancing Act could see play in certain niche strategies or casual formats where its unique effect can be leveraged effectively.
