About Strangling Soot

Strangling Soot, Instant, designed by Jim Murray first released in Oct, 2006 in the set Time Spiral and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.41.

A deck focused on controlling the board and removing small creatures would benefit from including Strangling Soot. While it provides efficient removal for low-toughness threats, there are potentially better options like Fatal Push or Lightning Bolt that offer more versatility or lower mana cost. Strangling Soot could see play in specific metagames where its ability to exile itself with flashback provides added value, but overall its inclusion would depend on the specific needs of the deck and the current meta.

Rules

03/19/21

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

03/19/21

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

03/19/21

“Flashback [cost]” means “You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack.”
