About Shadow of Doubt

Shadow of Doubt, Instant, designed by Greg Staples first released in Oct, 2005 in the set Ravnica: City of Guilds and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 16.87.

This Instant card, Shadow of Doubt, would be beneficial in a control deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's strategy by preventing them from searching their library, potentially shutting down combo decks or tutoring strategies. While it can be useful in certain situations, other cards like Aven Mindcensor or Leonin Arbiter may offer similar effects with additional utility, making them potentially better choices depending on the deck's strategy and meta. Shadow of Doubt could see play as a sideboard option in certain matchups where library searching is prevalent, but may not be a main deck staple due to its situational nature.

Rules

10/01/05

Effects that instruct you to reveal or look at cards from the top of you library will still work. Only effects that use the word “search” are affected.

10/01/05

If an effect says “You may search your library . . . If you do, shuffle your library” or “You may search your library . . . then shuffle your library,” you can’t choose to search, so you won’t shuffle.
