About Untimely Malfunction

Untimely Malfunction, Instant, designed by Jarel Threat first released in Sep, 2024 in the set Duskmourn: House of Horror. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

A deck that focuses on aggressive red strategies would benefit from including Untimely Malfunction, as it offers versatile options to disrupt opponents' game plans while also potentially clearing the way for attacks. However, there are arguably better cards with similar effects, such as Abrade for artifact removal or Lightning Bolt for direct damage, depending on the specific needs of the deck. Untimely Malfunction could see play in certain niche situations where its flexibility is particularly valuable, but it may not be a staple in most red decks.
