About Scalding Tongs

Scalding Tongs, Artifact, designed by Randy Gallegos first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.28.

This card would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on hand disruption or aggressive strategies, as it can help pressure opponents with low hand sizes. However, there are better options available such as Ankh of Mishra or Ebony Owl Netsuke which offer more consistent damage output or card advantage. While Scalding Tongs may have situational uses, it may not see much play in competitive decks due to its limited impact compared to other cards in the same mana cost range.
