About Virtus's Maneuver

Virtus's Maneuver, Sorcery, designed by Tomasz Jedruszek first released in Jun, 2018 in the set Battlebond. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 6.99.

A deck that focuses on graveyard recursion and creature sacrifice strategies, such as a Golgari or Rakdos deck in Magic: The Gathering, would benefit from including Virtus's Maneuver. However, there are potentially better cards for achieving similar effects, such as Rise of the Dark Realms or Dictate of Erebos, which have a broader impact on the board. While Virtus's Maneuver can be situationally useful, its narrow focus may limit its overall effectiveness in competitive play compared to other options.

Rules

06/08/18

Friends perform their specified actions before foes. This means that a friend’s action may cause a triggered ability of a foe’s permanent to trigger before that foe’s action causes that permanent to leave the battlefield.

06/08/18

The designation of friend or foe is only relevant to the spell that asks you to choose. A player you call your friend doesn’t become your teammate, and the next “friend or foe” spell you cast could name that player your foe.

06/08/18

When Virtus’s Maneuver resolves and you choose friend or foe, first the next friend in turn order (or, if it’s a friend’s turn, that friend) chooses a creature card in their graveyard, then each other friend in turn order does the same, then each of those players return those cards to their hands at the same time. Friends will know choices made by earlier players when making their choices. Repeat this process for foes, who choose a creature one at a time and then sacrifice them all at the same time.
