About Tezzeret's Gambit

Tezzeret's Gambit, Sorcery, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in May, 2011 in the set New Phyrexia and was printed exactly in 13 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.95.

A deck focused on +1/+1 counters and card draw, such as a Simic or Dimir proliferate deck, would benefit from Tezzeret's Gambit due to its ability to draw cards and proliferate counters. However, there are better cards like Inexorable Tide or Contagion Engine that provide more value for a similar cost, making Tezzeret's Gambit a suboptimal choice for competitive play unless specifically tailored to a certain strategy or theme.
