About Quietus Spike

Quietus Spike, Artifact — equipment, designed by Mark Brill first released in May, 2020 in the set Shards of Alara and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.23.

This Quietus Spike card would be a great addition to a deck focused on dealing direct damage and controlling the board, especially in a Commander format where players start with 40 life. It can quickly bring opponents' life totals down and create a significant advantage for the user. However, in competitive formats like Modern or Standard, where games are faster-paced and more focused on efficiency, Quietus Spike may be too slow and mana-intensive to see play compared to other more impactful cards like Batterskull or Sword of Fire and Ice.

Rules

06/15/10

In a Two-Headed Giant game, after combat damage is dealt, Quietus Spike looks at that player’s life total (which is the same as the team’s life total) when determining how much life the team will lose, which basically means the team’s life total is halved. Here’s an example of the math: The team has 19 life, so the player has 19 life. Quietus Spike causes the team to lose 10 life (19 divided by 2, rounded up). The team’s life total becomes 9 (19 minus 10).

10/01/08

That player loses half their life after combat damage has been subtracted from the player’s life total. The amount of life the player loses is determined as the triggered ability resolves.
