About Forsaken Wastes

Forsaken Wastes, World enchantment, designed by Kev Walker first released in Oct, 1996 in the set Mirage and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 36.89. It's a key card in 1 combos.

Forsaken Wastes fits well in a black control or attrition deck that aims to drain opponents' life while preventing them from gaining any life, making it particularly effective against lifegain strategies. Decks that focus on stalling the game and dealing incremental damage, such as those featuring cards like Liliana of the Veil or Gray Merchant of Asphodel, would benefit from its effects. While there are other enchantments like Necropotence or Sanguine Bond that might offer more powerful effects in certain contexts, Forsaken Wastes provides a unique combination of life loss and punishes opponents for targeting it, making it a solid choice in specific metas. Overall, it should see play in decks that can capitalize on its life-draining effects while maintaining control of the board.

Rules

05/01/08

Effects that would replace gaining life with some other effect won’t be able to do anything because it’s impossible for players to gain life.

05/01/08

If an effect says to set your life total to a certain number, and that number is higher than your current life total, that effect will normally cause you to gain life equal to the difference. With Forsaken Wastes on the battlefield, that part of the effect won’t do anything. (If the number is lower than your current life total, the effect will work as normal.)

10/04/04

The loss of life from targeting this card does not work until after this card enters the battlefield, so you can counter it without losing life.
