About Pestilence

Pestilence, Enchantment, designed by Jesper Myrfors first released in Aug, 1993 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 17 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.40.

A deck that focuses on controlling the board and clearing out opposing creatures would benefit from using Pestilence, as it can help maintain board presence and pressure opponents. While Pestilence can be a strong inclusion in certain control decks, there are other cards like Pyroclasm or Anger of the Gods that offer similar board-clearing effects at a lower cost, making them potentially better options depending on the specific deck strategy and meta. Ultimately, the decision to include Pestilence would depend on the deck's overall game plan and the current metagame.
