About Standstill

Standstill, Enchantment, designed by Heather Hudson first released in Oct, 2001 in the set Odyssey and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 7.46.

A deck that focuses on controlling the pace of the game and disrupting the opponent's strategy would benefit from using Standstill, as it can force opponents to either stop casting spells or give you card advantage. However, there are better options like Narset, Parter of Veils or Teferi, Time Raveler that offer more consistent value and control over the opponent's actions, making them more popular choices in competitive play. Standstill could see play in more casual or budget decks looking for a similar effect.

Rules

10/04/04

It only works once. If someone casts another spell after it triggers, but before that trigger resolves, then it will trigger again. The first time one of these triggers resolves, it will be sacrificed for the full effect. Any additional triggers on the stack will do nothing when they resolve because you will be unable to sacrifice it additional times.
