About Toil // Trouble
Toil // Trouble, Sorcery , designed by Nils Hamm & Nils Hamm first released in May 2013 in the set Dragon's Maze and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.35. It's a key card in 1 combo.
A deck that focuses on card advantage and life loss strategies would benefit from using Toil // Trouble, as it offers a versatile option to draw cards and deal damage simultaneously. However, there are potentially better cards available depending on the specific deck archetype, such as Painful Truths for card draw or Lightning Bolt for direct damage. Toil // Trouble could see play in certain decks that can capitalize on its flexibility and synergies, but its effectiveness would depend on the overall strategy and synergy within the deck.
Rules
04/15/2013
If a player names a card, the player may name either half of a split card, but not both. A split card has the chosen name if one of its two names matches the chosen name.
04/15/2013
If you cast a split card with fuse from your hand without paying its mana cost, you can choose to use its fuse ability and cast both halves without paying their mana costs.
04/15/2013
If you cast Toil // Trouble as a fused split card and choose to target the same player twice, the two drawn cards are counted when determining how much damage is dealt. The player can’t do anything between the effects of Toil and Trouble to have fewer cards in their hand.
04/15/2013
If you're casting a split card with fuse from any zone other than your hand, you can't cast both halves. You'll only be able to cast one half or the other.
04/15/2013
On the stack, a split spell that hasn't been fused has only that half's characteristics and mana value. The other half is treated as though it didn't exist.
04/15/2013
Some split cards with fuse have two halves that are both multicolored. That card is multicolored no matter which half is cast, or if both halves are cast. It’s also multicolored while not on the stack.
04/15/2013
Some split cards with fuse have two monocolor halves of different colors. If such a card is cast as a fused split spell, the resulting spell is multicolored. If only one half is cast, the spell is the color of that half. While not on the stack, such a card is multicolored.
04/15/2013
To cast a fused split spell, pay both of its mana costs. While the spell is on the stack, its mana value is the total amount of mana in both costs.
04/15/2013
When a fused split spell resolves, follow the instructions of the left half first, then the instructions on the right half.
04/15/2013
When resolving a fused split spell with multiple targets, treat it as you would any spell with multiple targets. If all targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, the spell doesn’t resolve and none of its effects happen. If at least one target is still legal at that time, the spell resolves, but an illegal target can’t perform any actions or have any actions performed on it.
04/15/2013
You can choose the same object as the target of each half of a fused split spell, if appropriate.
