About Power Surge

Power Surge, Enchantment, designed by Douglas Shuler first released in Aug, 1993 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 12 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 6.54. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck that aims to disrupt an opponent's mana base or prevent them from untapping their lands would benefit from using Power Surge, as it punishes opponents for having untapped lands during their upkeep. However, in most cases, the potential downside of damaging oneself may outweigh the benefits, making it a risky choice. There are better cards that offer more consistent and impactful effects, such as Blood Moon or Magus of the Moon, which can shut down opponents' lands entirely. Overall, Power Surge may not see much play in competitive decks due to its potential drawbacks and the availability of more powerful options.
