About Sudden Impact

Sudden Impact, Instant, designed by Alan Pollack first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest and was printed exactly in 8 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.86. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's hand size, such as a discard-heavy deck or a deck that forces the opponent to draw cards rapidly, would benefit from using Sudden Impact. While Sudden Impact can be a powerful finisher in the right circumstances, there are better options available like Burning Inquiry or Wheel of Fortune that can have a more immediate impact on the opponent's hand size or provide additional benefits. However, Sudden Impact can still be a viable choice in certain situations where direct damage based on hand size can be advantageous.
