About Sip of Hemlock

Sip of Hemlock, Sorcery, designed by Nils Hamm first released in Sep, 2013 in the set Theros. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.20.

This card, Sip of Hemlock, would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on removal and life loss as win conditions. While it can be effective in certain situations, there are better alternatives like Murder or Hero's Downfall that offer more efficient removal at a lower cost. Sip of Hemlock could see play in a budget deck or as a sideboard option against specific threats, but it may not be a top choice for competitive play due to its high mana cost.

Rules

09/15/13

If the creature is an illegal target when Sip of Hemlock tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will occur. The creature’s controller won’t lose 2 life. However, if Sip of Hemlock resolves and the creature isn’t destroyed (perhaps because it regenerated or had indestructible), the creature’s controller will still lose 2 life.
