About Conduit of Ruin

Conduit of Ruin, Creature — eldrazi, designed by Slawomir Maniak first released in Oct, 2015 in the set Battle for Zendikar Promos and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Casual. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 4.03.

A deck focused on ramping up mana quickly, such as a green ramp or colorless Eldrazi deck, would benefit from including Conduit of Ruin as it helps search for high-cost creatures and reduces the cost of the first creature spell each turn. However, there are potentially better cards like Channel or Greenwarden of Murasa that offer more immediate impact or recursion abilities, so the inclusion of Conduit of Ruin would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, making it a situational choice for play.
