About Tariff

Tariff, Sorcery, designed by Kev Walker first released in Jun, 1997 in the set Weatherlight and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 30.20.

A control or midrange deck that focuses on disrupting opponents' board states and maintaining a mana advantage would benefit from using Tariff in Magic: the Gathering. While Tariff can be a powerful tool for forcing sacrifices and potentially generating card advantage, it may not always be the most efficient option compared to other removal spells like Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares, which offer more immediate and targeted removal. Whether Tariff sees play would depend on the specific metagame and deck strategy, but it could be a situational and interesting inclusion for certain matchups.

Rules
