About Bioshift

Bioshift, Instant, designed by Scott Chou first released in Feb, 2013 in the set Gatecrash. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.12.

A deck that focuses on +1/+1 counters, such as a Simic (G/U) counters deck in Magic: the Gathering, would benefit from including Bioshift. This card can be particularly useful in transferring counters from a creature that may be targeted for removal to a safer or more threatening creature. While Bioshift is a unique and situational card, there are arguably better options like Solidarity of Heroes or Simic Ascendancy that provide more versatile or powerful effects for a similar cost, making Bioshift less likely to see regular play in competitive decks.
