About Malicious Malfunction
Malicious Malfunction, Sorcery, designed by Deruchenko Alexander first released in January 2022 in the set Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.35.
A deck focused on controlling the board and disrupting your opponent's creatures, such as a Black Control or Midrange deck, would benefit from including Malicious Malfunction. While it is a decent card for its cost, there are potentially better options like Damnation or Languish which offer more impactful board wipes. However, Malicious Malfunction could still see play in certain metagames or as a budget option for players looking to disrupt aggressive creature strategies.
Rules
02/18/2022
Creatures that would die for any reason this turn are exiled instead, not just creatures that would die after getting -2/-2.
02/18/2022
While the -2/-2 applies only to creatures that are on the battlefield as Malicious Malfunction resolves, the replacement effect applies to all creatures that turn, including ones that enter the battlefield after Malicious Malfunction resolves or noncreatures that become creatures after Malicious Malfunction resolves.
