About Mental Misstep

Mental Misstep, Instant, designed by Erica Yang first released in May, 2011 in the set New Phyrexia and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Alchemy. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 54.43.

This card, Mental Misstep, would be beneficial in a deck that aims to disrupt opponents' early plays by countering low-cost spells, such as combo or control decks that rely on key one-mana spells. However, in certain metagames where one-mana spells are not prevalent, other counterspells like Force of Will or Spell Pierce may be more versatile and impactful. Whether Mental Misstep sees play would largely depend on the specific cards and strategies prevalent in the current metagame.
