About Grab the Reins

Grab the Reins, Instant, designed by Michael Sutfin first released in Oct, 2003 in the set Mirrodin and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.26.

Grab the Reins would benefit aggressive red decks looking to gain temporary control of an opponent's creature for a powerful attack or to deal direct damage by sacrificing a creature. While it offers versatility with its entwine ability, other cards like Threaten or Act of Treason may be more efficient for stealing creatures, and cards like Lightning Bolt may be better for direct damage. Grab the Reins could see play in specific deck archetypes that value its flexibility and potential for game-ending plays.
