About Excavation Technique

Excavation Technique, Sorcery, designed by Francisco Miyara first released in Apr, 2021 in the set Commander 2021 and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.21.

Excavation Technique could be a valuable addition to a control or midrange deck in Magic: the Gathering, providing removal for nonland permanents while also generating value through Treasure tokens. However, it may not be as efficient as other removal spells like Swords to Plowshares or Path to Exile, which offer immediate removal without the need for additional setup. Whether Excavation Technique sees play would depend on the specific meta and deck strategy, but it could find a place in decks looking for versatile removal options with added benefits.

Rules

04/16/21

If the spell requires targets, you choose the target of the original spell as you cast it. If you create a copy of the spell, you may choose new targets for the copy as you create that copy. Similarly, the opponent you chose to create a copy may choose new targets for that copy as it’s created. In other words, your opponent will know the targets of your original spell and your copy when choosing the new targets, if any, for their copy.

04/16/21

If you cast the spell and choose not to copy it, no opponent will get to copy it either.

04/16/21

You choose whether to make a copy as the demonstrate ability resolves. This happens before the original spell resolves. Your copy goes on the stack above the original spell.
