Competitive planningNoncreature interaction
Negate
Counters a noncreature spell.[3]
- Consider it if
- Your blue deck needs an answer to the noncreature spells you expect to face.
- Keep in mind
- It cannot counter a creature spell. Choose the slot around your expected matchups.
CommanderFlexible removal
Beast Within
Destroys a permanent and gives its controller a Beast creature token.[2]
- Consider it if
- Your green Commander deck needs an answer that can cover several permanent types.
- Keep in mind
- The replacement creature matters. Weigh broad coverage against the board you leave behind.
Competitive planningFlexible red interaction
Abrade
Offers creature damage or artifact destruction.[4]
- Consider it if
- Your red deck wants one interaction slot that can serve either of those jobs.
- Keep in mind
- Its damage will not answer every creature. Plan for larger threats separately.
