About Mages' Contest

Mages' Contest, Instant, designed by Bradley Williams first released in Oct, 2000 in the set Invasion and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 31.89.

This card, Mages' Contest, would benefit a deck that focuses on control and disruption, as it provides a unique way to counter spells while also potentially disrupting the opponent's life total. However, in a competitive setting, it may not be the most efficient choice compared to other counterspells like Counterspell or Mana Drain, which offer more straightforward and reliable spell negation. Mages' Contest could see play in more casual or themed decks looking for a fun and interactive twist on traditional counterspells.
