About Flame Spill

Flame Spill, Instant, designed by Zoltan Boros first released in Apr, 2020 in the set Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.30.

This card, Flame Spill, would be beneficial in a red aggressive deck looking to quickly remove threats while also dealing damage to the opponent. It can be particularly effective against decks that rely on protecting key creatures, as the excess damage can punish the controller for overcommitting to a single threat. While Flame Spill is a solid choice for its cost and effect, other cards like Lightning Bolt or Skewer the Critics may offer more versatility or efficiency in certain situations, so it's worth considering the overall strategy and matchups before including it in a deck.

Rules

17/04/20

Excess damage caused by a spell or ability is similar to how combat damage from a creature with trample is handled. Start with the amount of damage being dealt to the creature and determine what is “lethal.” This is the creature’s toughness minus the amount of damage that it already has marked on it, but ignoring any replacement or prevention effects that will modify this damage. Also ignore whether the creature has an ability such as indestructible that will result in it not being destroyed by this damage.

17/04/20

If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Flame Spill tries to resolve, the spell won’t resolve. It won’t deal damage to any player.
