About Vortex Elemental

Vortex Elemental, Creature — elemental, designed by Jack Wang first released in Feb, 2014 in the set Born of the Gods. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.53.

A control deck focused on disruption and tempo would benefit from using Vortex Elemental in Magic: the Gathering. While it can provide a way to reset the board state by putting creatures on top of libraries, its high activation cost and limited impact may make it less desirable compared to more versatile and efficient cards like Aetherling, which can provide better control and win conditions. Vortex Elemental may not see much play in competitive decks due to its limitations and higher mana cost.

Rules

02/01/14

If no creature is blocking or being blocked by Vortex Elemental as its first ability resolves, it alone will be put on top of its owner’s library, and that library will be shuffled. You can activate the first ability outside of combat.

02/01/14

The creature blocks Vortex Elemental only if it’s able to do so as the declare blockers step begins. If, at that time, the creature is tapped, it’s affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t block, or Vortex Elemental isn’t attacking its controller or a planeswalker controlled by that player, then it doesn’t block. If there’s a cost associated with having the creature block, the player isn’t forced to pay that cost. If that cost isn’t paid, the creature won’t block.
