About Cobra Trap
Cobra Trap, Instant — trap, designed by Scott Chou first released in Oct, 2009 in the set Zendikar and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
A deck that focuses on protecting or sacrificing noncreature permanents would benefit from including Cobra Trap, as it offers a potential mana discount for a powerful token generation effect. While Cobra Trap could be useful in decks built around synergies involving noncreature permanents, there may be better options available such as cards like Beast Within or Song of the Dryads for removal, or Parallel Lives for token generation, which may be more versatile in a variety of situations. Whether or not Cobra Trap should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck in question.
