About Nemesis Trap

Nemesis Trap, Instant — trap, designed by Ryan Pancoast first released in Feb, 2010 in the set Worldwake and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.61.

A deck that focuses on controlling the board and disrupting the opponent's creatures, especially white ones, would benefit from including Nemesis Trap. While it offers a unique way to deal with attacking threats and potentially create a copy of a powerful creature, other removal spells like Murderous Cut or Hero's Downfall might be more efficient in terms of mana cost and flexibility. However, in a specific meta where white creatures are prevalent, Nemesis Trap could see play as a situational and flavorful inclusion.
