About Gut Shot

Gut Shot, Instant, designed by Greg Staples first released in May, 2011 in the set New Phyrexia and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 1.46. It's a key card in 3 combos.

This card, Gut Shot, would be beneficial in a deck that aims to have a low mana curve and wants to have cheap removal or reach to finish off opponents. Decks that focus on aggressive strategies, such as Burn or Aggro decks, would benefit from the flexibility of being able to pay with either mana or life. While Gut Shot can be useful in certain situations, there are arguably better options available, such as Lightning Bolt or Lava Spike, which offer more damage for a slightly higher cost and are more versatile overall. Whether Gut Shot should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy within the deck, but it could be a viable option in the right context.
