About Excruciator

Excruciator, Creature — avatar, designed by Paolo Parente first released in Oct, 2005 in the set Ravnica: City of Guilds. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.27.

A deck that focuses on dealing direct damage and bypassing opponent's defenses would benefit from using Excruciator, as it ensures that its damage cannot be prevented. However, in a competitive Magic: the Gathering environment, there are more efficient and powerful cards available for a similar mana cost that offer greater utility or immediate impact on the game. While Excruciator has a niche ability, it may not see play in highly optimized decks due to its high cost and limited impact compared to other options.
