About Dismal Failure

Dismal Failure, Instant, designed by Dan Murayama Scott first released in Feb, 2007 in the set Planar Chaos. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.15.

This card, Dismal Failure, would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's strategy by countering their key spells and forcing them to discard cards, potentially leading to card advantage. While Dismal Failure is a decent option for budget decks or casual play, more competitive decks might opt for more versatile counterspells like Mana Leak or Cryptic Command, which offer additional benefits such as flexibility or card draw. Overall, Dismal Failure could see play in specific metagames or as a budget option, but it may not be a top choice in highly competitive environments.
