(Source: The Rumor Mongers. Author: Razor)

My second article for The Rumor Mongers !. I did some time ago, but wanted to show it before publishing the Stifle analysis. And now I leave the article, I hope you find it helps all controleros / agrocontroleros which you play this card!

start with a large letter (which is personally my favorite): Trap spell. Loved and hated at the same time by those who play and those who suffer, respectively.

(NTK Note: Some comments in relation to be extended out of date, since the item is before the rules change. Regards)

Spell Trap is one of the best counterspell that can be found in the Legacy format (as well as Extended ) that appeared recently in Discordia, third and last extension block Ravnica (a large block ...), and got a pleasant surprise to controleros, since Extended shortage of decent low-cost counters (of course, not counting ...). Forward

Now to his analysis:

TRAP SPELL / SPELL SNARE

Trap spells U {

} Instant (Uncommon - DIS)

Counter target spell with converted mana cost 2.

Description:

• Decks in which it appears: Agrocontrol Control and blue, eg: Canadian Threshold / Threshold RUG, MUC , Landstill , Zur , Dreadstill , Threshold BUG ...
• Price: 4-5 € approx.
• Play in: all formats.

Why is it so good? Counter

• first turn.
• Good response to the threat of second round when your opponent starts.
• most important: to counteract almost always despite its restriction of two, as Legacy is a very fast format, where the vast majority of cards played are costs 2. Moreover, raravez find a deck that does not have some of their best cards cost 2 ..
