About Gnaw to the Bone

Gnaw to the Bone, Instant, designed by Scott Chou first released in Sep, 2011 in the set Innistrad and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.39.

A Golgari graveyard-focused deck would benefit from including Gnaw to the Bone, as it provides a significant life gain potential based on the number of creature cards in the graveyard, which synergizes well with strategies involving self-mill and recursion. While there may be more efficient life gain cards available, Gnaw to the Bone's flashback ability adds versatility and potential for repeated use, making it a solid inclusion in decks looking to gain life and leverage their graveyard resources.

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.”
