About Prismatic Strands

Prismatic Strands, Instant, designed by Eric Peterson first released in May, 2002 in the set Judgment and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 14.88.

A deck that focuses on controlling the board and protecting its creatures would benefit from using Prismatic Strands, especially in a meta where specific colors are prevalent. While Prismatic Strands can be a useful tool for protection, some may argue that cards like Eerie Interlude or Teferi's Protection offer more versatile and impactful protection options. However, Prismatic Strands can still find a place in decks that rely on white creatures and need a cost-effective way to prevent damage.

Rules

03/19/21

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

03/19/21

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

03/19/21

“Flashback [cost]” means “You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack.”
