About Dead Drop

Dead Drop, Sorcery, designed by Greg Staples first released in May, 2020 in the set Khans of Tarkir. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.30.

A deck that focuses on filling up its graveyard quickly would benefit from using Dead Drop, as it can take advantage of the Delve mechanic to reduce its casting cost. However, due to its high mana cost, it may not be the most efficient choice compared to other removal spells like Murder or Hero's Downfall, which offer similar effects at a lower cost. Dead Drop could see play in specific graveyard-centric strategies, but it may not be a top choice in more competitive decks.

Rules

03/19/21

Because delve isn’t an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.

03/19/21

Delve doesn’t change a spell’s mana cost or converted mana cost. For example, Treasure Cruise’s converted mana cost is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.

Because delve isn’t an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.

09/20/14

The rules for delve have changed slightly since it was last in an expansion. Previously, delve reduced the cost to cast a spell. Under the current rules, you exile cards from your graveyard at the same time you pay the spell’s cost. Exiling a card this way is simply another way to pay that cost.

09/20/14

The target player chooses which creatures they will sacrifice as Dead Drop resolves. If the player controls only one creature at that time, they will sacrifice it.

09/20/14

You can’t exile cards to pay for the colored mana requirements of a spell with delve.
