About Yahenni's Expertise

Yahenni's Expertise, Sorcery, designed by Jason A. Engle first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Legacy and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 5.32.

A deck focused on controlling the board and exploiting low-cost spells would benefit from Yahenni's Expertise, particularly in a black-based control deck. While it offers a powerful board wipe effect and the ability to cast a free spell, there are potentially better options like Damnation for a more efficient board wipe or other cards like Inquisition of Kozilek for targeted disruption. However, Yahenni's Expertise could still see play in certain strategies that can take advantage of its unique combination of effects.

Rules

02/09/17

Any triggered abilities that trigger while performing the Expertise spell’s first effect won’t be put onto the stack until after you’re done casting your free spell. They’re put onto the stack at the same time as any abilities that triggered while casting that spell regardless of the order in which those abilities triggered.

02/09/17

If a creature’s toughness is reduced to 0 or less by Yahenni’s Expertise, that creature is still on the battlefield as you cast your free spell. It can be the target of that spell, although it will become an illegal target before that spell resolves. If it has any abilities that trigger on the spell being cast, those abilities will trigger.
