About Contagion

Contagion, Instant, designed by Mike Raabe first released in Jun, 1996 in the set Alliances and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 8.86.

A deck that focuses on controlling the board and using life as a resource would benefit from including Contagion. Decks that revolve around sacrificing creatures or using life as a payment mechanism can make good use of this card. However, there are potentially better options like Fatal Push or Dismember that offer more versatility and efficiency in dealing with threats, making them more commonly played in competitive settings. Contagion could see play in more casual or themed decks that specifically benefit from its unique mechanics.
