Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Gut Shot is the kind of card that rewards ruthless efficiency: a tiny burst of pain that can swing a whole turn when you need to keep momentum. In Magic, it best supports tempo and aggressive decks, where spending no mana—or just 2 life—lets you preserve board development while still picking off a key utility creature, finishing off a planeswalker at low loyalty, or pushing through the last point of damage. Its true strength is flexibility, especially in decks that want to keep mana open for tricks or interaction. It also has strong synergy with spell-count matters and prowess-style shells, since it adds a cheap instant to the stack without slowing your turn. Deckbuilding tip: pair it with creatures that care about noncreature spells or with decks that want to trigger cast abilities multiple times in a turn; in the right list, Gut Shot is less about raw damage and more about stealing tempo at exactly the right moment.
