About Needlebite Trap

Needlebite Trap, Instant — trap, designed by Daarken first released in May, 2020 in the set Zendikar. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.31.

This card would be beneficial in a black aggressive deck that aims to pressure the opponent's life total quickly and punish them for gaining life. While Needlebite Trap provides a significant life swing, there may be better options like Blood Artist or Falkenrath Noble that offer similar effects consistently without the situational requirement, making them more reliable choices for deck construction, yet Needlebite Trap could be a viable sideboard option against life gain strategies.

Rules
