About Staggershock

Staggershock, Instant, designed by Raymond Swanland first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 8.10.

This card, Staggershock, would be beneficial in a red aggressive or burn deck looking to deal direct damage to both creatures and opponents. While Staggershock provides flexibility with its Rebound ability, more efficient options like Lightning Bolt or Lightning Helix may be preferred due to their lower mana cost and immediate impact on the board. However, Staggershock could still see play in decks that value its recurring damage potential and are willing to invest the extra mana for its versatility.

Rules

06/15/10

If a replacement effect would cause a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand to be put somewhere else instead of your graveyard (such as Leyline of the Void might), you choose whether to apply the rebound effect or the other effect as the spell resolves.

06/15/10

If a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand doesn’t resolve for any reason (due being countered by a spell like Cancel, or because all of its targets are illegal), rebound has no effect. The spell is simply put into your graveyard. You won’t get to cast it again next turn.

06/15/10

If you are unable to cast a card from exile this way, or you choose not to, nothing happens when the delayed triggered ability resolves. The card remains exiled for the rest of the game, and you won’t get another chance to cast the card. The same is true if the ability is countered (due to Stifle, perhaps).

06/15/10

If you cast a spell with rebound from your hand and it resolves, it isn’t put into your graveyard. Rather, it’s exiled directly from the stack. Effects that care about cards being put into your graveyard won’t do anything.
