About Cobra Trap
Cobra Trap, Instant — trap, designed by Scott Chou first released in October 2009 in the set Zendikar and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.35.
A deck that focuses on protecting or sacrificing noncreature permanents would benefit from including Cobra Trap, as it offers a potential mana discount for a powerful token generation effect. While Cobra Trap could be useful in decks built around synergies involving noncreature permanents, there may be better options available such as cards like Beast Within or Song of the Dryads for removal, or Parallel Lives for token generation, which may be more versatile in a variety of situations. Whether or not Cobra Trap should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck in question.
Rules

You may ignore a Trap’s alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
