About Rishkar's Expertise

Rishkar's Expertise, Sorcery, designed by Magali Villeneuve first released in Jan, 2017 in the set Aether Revolt Promos and was printed exactly in 9 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 6.51.

A deck that focuses on high-power creatures would benefit most from Rishkar's Expertise, as it allows you to draw cards based on the greatest power among your creatures and cast a spell for free. While this card can be powerful in the right deck, there are potentially better options such as Colossal Majesty or Garruk's Uprising, which provide consistent card draw without the restriction of needing high-power creatures on the battlefield. Ultimately, whether Rishkar's Expertise should see play depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck it's being considered for.
