About Skullcrack

Skullcrack, Instant, designed by Dave Kendall first released in Feb, 2013 in the set Gatecrash and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.18.

This card, Skullcrack, is a great addition to aggressive red decks looking to prevent opponents from gaining life or preventing damage, making it effective against control or lifegain strategies. While Skullcrack is a solid choice for its direct damage and utility, some may argue that cards like Lightning Bolt or Boros Charm offer more versatile options for similar effects. Ultimately, Skullcrack can be a valuable inclusion in decks aiming for a fast and aggressive playstyle, especially in metas where lifegain is prevalent.

Rules

01/24/13

Effects that would replace gaining life with another effect won’t apply because it’s impossible for players to gain life.

01/24/13

Skullcrack targets only the player. If that player is an illegal target when Skullcrack tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.
