About Suffer the Past

Suffer the Past, Instant, designed by Trevor Claxton first released in Apr, 2010 in the set Rise of the Eldrazi and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.39.

This card, Suffer the Past, would be beneficial in a control or graveyard-focused deck in Magic: the Gathering. It can disrupt graveyard strategies by removing key cards, while also providing life gain for the player. However, there are potentially better options like Leyline of the Void or Surgical Extraction that offer more versatile and powerful graveyard hate. Suffer the Past could see play in specific metas where graveyard strategies are prevalent, but in general, it may not be a top-tier choice compared to other options available.

Rules

06/15/10

Suffer the Past’s effect causes a single life-gain event, not a number of separate ones. This matters for cards such as Cradle of Vitality.

06/15/10

The life that’s lost and the life that’s gained are based on the number of cards that are actually exiled, not on the value of X (in case any of the targeted cards somehow leave the graveyard in response and thus can’t be exiled this way).
