About Rust

Rust, Instant, designed by Liz Danforth first released in Jun, 1994 in the set Legends. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.26.

This card, Rust, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on disrupting artifact-based strategies, such as artifact combo decks or artifact-heavy control decks. While Rust is a niche card that can be situationally powerful, there are more versatile options like Collector Ouphe or Null Rod that can shut down all artifact abilities, making them potentially better choices depending on the specific metagame. However, Rust could still see play as a sideboard option in certain matchups where its ability to target specific activated abilities is valuable.
