About Sparkmage's Gambit

Sparkmage's Gambit, Sorcery, designed by Mathias Kollros first released in May, 2020 in the set Oath of the Gatewatch and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

A deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and aims to quickly eliminate opposing creatures would benefit from including Sparkmage's Gambit. While it can help clear the way for attacks by dealing damage and preventing blocking, there are potentially more efficient cards for similar effects, such as Lightning Bolt or Searing Blaze, which offer more versatility and impact. Whether Sparkmage's Gambit should see play would depend on the specific deck's strategy and card pool, but it may not be a top choice compared to other options available.

Rules

01/22/16

If Sparkmage’s Gambit has two targets, and one of them is illegal as Sparkmage’s Gambit resolves, only the remaining legal target will be affected. The illegal target won’t be dealt damage and will be able to block that turn. If both targets are illegal as Sparkmage’s Gambit tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.
