About Gonti's Machinations

Gonti's Machinations, Enchantment, designed by Daarken first released in Jan, 2017 in the set Aether Revolt. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.87.

This card, Gonti's Machinations, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on triggering life loss effects frequently, such as a mono-black aggro or control deck. However, there are better options available, such as Bitterblossom or Phyrexian Arena, which provide more consistent value over time. While Gonti's Machinations has a niche use in certain strategies, it may not be a top choice for competitive play due to its limited impact compared to other cards in the same mana cost range.
