About Worst Fears

Worst Fears, Sorcery, designed by Eric Deschamps first released in May, 2020 in the set Journey into Nyx and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 19.25. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck that focuses on controlling the opponent's actions and disrupting their strategy would benefit from using Worst Fears in Magic: the Gathering. While it can be a powerful card in certain situations, it is quite costly to play at 7 mana and may not always be the most efficient option. Other cards like Mindslaver or Emrakul, the Promised End offer similar effects with potentially better outcomes, making them more popular choices in competitive play. However, Worst Fears can still be a fun and unexpected addition to a deck focused on controlling the game and causing chaos for your opponent.

Rules

07/13/16

Controlling a player doesn’t allow you to look at that player’s sideboard. If an effect instructs that player to choose a card from outside the game, you can’t have that player choose any card.

04/26/14

If the target player skips their next turn, you’ll control the next turn the affected player actually takes.

04/26/14

The player you’re controlling is still the active player during that turn.

04/26/14

While controlling another player, you make all choices and decisions that player is allowed to make or is told to make during that turn. This includes choices about what spells to cast or what abilities to activate, as well as any decisions called for by triggered abilities or for any other reason.

04/26/14

You can use only the affected player’s resources (cards, mana, and so on) to pay costs for that player; you can’t use your own. Similarly, you can use the affected player’s resources only to pay that player’s costs; you can’t spend them on your costs.

04/26/14

You can’t make any illegal decisions or illegal choices—you can’t do anything that player couldn’t do. You can’t make choices or decisions for that player that aren’t called for by the game rules or by any cards, permanents, spells, abilities, and so on. If an effect causes another player to make decisions that the affected player would normally make (such as Master Warcraft does), that effect takes precedence. In other words, if the affected player wouldn’t make a decision, you wouldn’t make that decision on their behalf.

04/26/14

You could gain control of yourself using Worst Fears, but unless you do so to overwrite someone else’s player-controlling effect, this doesn’t do anything.
