About Betrayer's Bargain

Betrayer's Bargain, Instant, designed by Billy Christian first released in Sep, 2024 in the set Duskmourn: House of Horror. It see play in 1 formats: Sealed event.

Betrayer's Bargain would fit well in a red aggro or midrange deck that can easily sacrifice creatures or enchantments, leveraging the card's ability to deal 5 damage while also exiling the target creature, which is particularly useful against decks that rely on graveyard recursion. However, there are arguably better options like Lightning Bolt for direct damage at a lower cost or Terminate for creature removal without the sacrifice requirement, depending on the deck's strategy and meta. Overall, while it has niche applications, it may not see widespread play due to the availability of more efficient removal spells.
