About Shahrazad

Shahrazad, Sorcery, designed by Kaja Foglio first released in Dec, 1993 in the set Arabian Nights. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2168.53.

A deck that focuses on controlling the opponent's resources and disrupting their game plan would benefit from using Shahrazad, as it can create a subgame that can potentially give the controlling player an advantage. However, due to its unique and time-consuming effect, Shahrazad is typically considered a fringe card and is often banned in many formats for being too disruptive and slowing down gameplay. In terms of better alternatives, cards like Time Walk or Time Warp provide similar advantages without the complexity of creating a subgame, making them more efficient choices for competitive play.
