About Confiscation Coup

Confiscation Coup, Sorcery, designed by Joseph Meehan first released in Sep, 2016 in the set Kaladesh Promos and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.33.

This card would benefit a control deck that focuses on stealing key artifacts or creatures from the opponent. While Confiscation Coup can be powerful in certain situations, it may not always be the most efficient option compared to other cards like Control Magic or Treachery, which offer similar effects for less mana. Whether Confiscation Coup should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and meta of the deck it's being considered for.
