About Master of Predicaments

Master of Predicaments, Creature — sphinx, designed by Matt Stewart first released in May, 2020 in the set Magic 2015. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.42.

A control or tempo deck that focuses on manipulating the opponent's decisions and resources would benefit from including Master of Predicaments in its strategy. While the card's ability to cast a card for free can be powerful, there are better options available in the format that offer more consistent and impactful effects, such as Torrential Gearhulk or Snapcaster Mage. Master of Predicaments may not see widespread play due to its reliance on chance and the availability of stronger alternatives.

Rules

04/18/17

If the card is a split card, its converted mana cost is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If the player guesses wrong and you cast a split card this way, you may cast either half (or both halves if the card has fuse), no matter what its converted mana cost is.

07/18/14

If you don’t cast the card, either because the player guessed right or because you choose not to cast it, you don’t have to reveal it. Your opponent won’t know the reason you didn’t cast the card.

07/18/14

To choose a card in your hand, clearly separate it from the rest of your hand without revealing it.

07/18/14

You cast the card in your hand as part of the resolution of the triggered ability. Timing restrictions based on the card’s type (such as creature or sorcery) are ignored. Other restrictions, such as “Cast [this card] only during combat,” are not.
