About Cosi's Trickster

Cosi's Trickster, Creature — merfolk wizard, designed by Igor Kieryluk first released in Oct, 2009 in the set Zendikar. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 9.68.

Cosi's Trickster fits well in a deck that focuses on disrupting opponents' libraries, such as a mill or control deck that employs cards like Mesmeric Orb or Jace's Archivist, which force opponents to shuffle their libraries frequently. While Cosi's Trickster can grow in power with each shuffle, cards like Thrun, the Last Troll or Tarmogoyf might offer more consistent value and resilience in competitive play, as they provide stronger stats and abilities for a similar mana cost. Overall, Cosi's Trickster could see play in casual or themed decks, but its effectiveness may be limited in more competitive environments where better options exist.

Rules

If an opponent’s library is empty or has just a single card in it when a spell or ability instructs that player to shuffle their library, Cosi’s Trickster’s ability will still trigger.
