About Death Wish

Death Wish, Sorcery, designed by Jeff Easley first released in May, 2002 in the set Judgment. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.84.

This card could be beneficial in a combo deck that relies on a specific card from outside the game to win, as it allows you to search for that card and put it into your hand. However, the drawback of losing half your life could be risky, especially in a format where life total matters. Other cards like Demonic Tutor or Vampiric Tutor may be more efficient in tutoring for specific cards without the life loss, making them better options in most cases. Overall, Death Wish could see play in specific niche decks, but it may not be a staple in most competitive strategies.
