About Jinxed Idol

Jinxed Idol, Artifact, designed by John Matson first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 10.09.

A deck that focuses on sacrificing creatures for value, such as a sacrifice or reanimator deck, would benefit from using Jinxed Idol as it provides a recurring source of damage and can be used strategically to pass on the curse to opponents. However, there are better options like Phyrexian Arena or Bitterblossom that provide card advantage without the downside of self-damage, making them more efficient choices for most decks. Jinxed Idol could see play in a specific build looking to capitalize on its unique effect, but in general, there are stronger alternatives available.
