About Check for Traps

Check for Traps, Sorcery, designed by Zoltan Boros first released in Jul, 2021 in the set Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.03.

A deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's strategy and gaining incremental advantage would benefit from using Check for Traps. Decks that aim to control the game by removing key threats or disrupting the opponent's hand would find this card useful. While Check for Traps offers a unique effect with the potential to cause life loss, there are more efficient options available in formats like Magic: the Gathering. Cards like Thoughtseize or Inquisition of Kozilek provide similar hand disruption at a lower cost, making them more competitive choices for most decks. Overall, Check for Traps could see play in casual or themed decks but may struggle to find a place in more competitive environments due to its higher mana cost and less efficient effect compared to other options.
