About Gonti's Machinations

Gonti's Machinations, Enchantment, designed by Daarken first released in Jan, 2017 in the set Aether Revolt. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.49.

This card, Gonti's Machinations, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on triggering life loss effects frequently, such as a mono-black aggro or control deck. However, there are better options available, such as Bitterblossom or Phyrexian Arena, which provide more consistent value over time. While Gonti's Machinations has a niche use in certain strategies, it may not be a top choice for competitive play due to its limited impact compared to other cards in the same mana cost range.
