About Virulent Swipe

Virulent Swipe, Instant, designed by Raymond Swanland first released in Apr, 2010 in the set Rise of the Eldrazi and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 15.00.

This card, Virulent Swipe, would be beneficial in a deck focused on aggressive strategies or creature-based decks looking to control the board by efficiently removing threats. While it provides a temporary power boost and deathtouch to a creature, the Rebound ability adds value by allowing you to potentially cast it again for free. However, there are potentially better options depending on the specific deck archetype, such as Fatal Push for more versatile removal or Mutagenic Growth for a similar combat trick with added flexibility. Overall, Virulent Swipe could see play in certain aggressive or tempo decks looking for efficient removal and combat tricks.

Rules

06/15/10

If a replacement effect would cause a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand to be put somewhere else instead of your graveyard (such as Leyline of the Void might), you choose whether to apply the rebound effect or the other effect as the spell resolves.

06/15/10

If a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand doesn’t resolve for any reason (due being countered by a spell like Cancel, or because all of its targets are illegal), rebound has no effect. The spell is simply put into your graveyard. You won’t get to cast it again next turn.

06/15/10

If you are unable to cast a card from exile this way, or you choose not to, nothing happens when the delayed triggered ability resolves. The card remains exiled for the rest of the game, and you won’t get another chance to cast the card. The same is true if the ability is countered (due to Stifle, perhaps).

06/15/10

If you cast a spell with rebound from your hand and it resolves, it isn’t put into your graveyard. Rather, it’s exiled directly from the stack. Effects that care about cards being put into your graveyard won’t do anything.
