About Trap Runner

Trap Runner, Creature — human soldier, designed by Ron Spencer first released in Oct, 1999 in the set Mercadian Masques. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.62.

This Trap Runner card could be beneficial in a white-based control deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's combat phase and protecting itself from unblocked attackers. While Trap Runner has its uses, a potentially better alternative could be cards like Maze of Ith or Maze of Shadows, which offer similar effects but with more flexibility and longevity in gameplay. Ultimately, Trap Runner could see play in specific strategies that rely on combat manipulation, but its effectiveness may vary depending on the overall game plan of the deck.

Rules
