About Murderous Compulsion

Murderous Compulsion, Sorcery, designed by David Palumbo first released in Apr, 2016 in the set Shadows over Innistrad and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.17.

This card, Murderous Compulsion, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on controlling the board by removing threats efficiently. Decks that aim to maintain board presence by eliminating key creatures would find this card useful. While Murderous Compulsion is a decent removal option, there are stronger alternatives like Fatal Push or Go for the Throat that are more versatile and have lower mana costs, making them better choices for competitive play. However, in a limited format or a budget deck, Murderous Compulsion could still see play as a solid removal spell.

Rules

04/08/16

Cards are discarded in a Magic game only from a player’s hand. Effects that put cards from a player’s library into that player’s graveyard do not cause those cards to be discarded.

04/08/16

Casting a spell for its madness cost doesn’t change its mana cost or its converted mana cost. You just pay the madness cost instead.

04/08/16

If you choose not to cast a card with madness when the madness triggered ability resolves, it’s put into your graveyard. You don’t get another chance to cast it later.

04/08/16

If you discard a card with madness while resolving a spell or ability, it moves immediately to exile. Continue resolving that spell or ability—the card is not in your graveyard at this time. Its madness trigger will be placed onto the stack once that spell or ability has completely resolved.

04/08/16

Madness works independently of why you’re discarding the card. You could discard it to pay a cost, because a spell or ability tells you to, or even because you have too many cards in your hand at the end of your turn. You can’t discard a card with madness just because you want to, though.
