About Into the Roil

Into the Roil, Instant, designed by Kieran Yanner first released in Oct, 2009 in the set Zendikar and was printed exactly in 11 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.12.

A tempo-based control deck would benefit from using Into the Roil, as it provides a versatile removal option that can bounce problematic nonland permanents while also potentially drawing a card if kicked. While there may be more efficient removal spells available, Into the Roil's flexibility and card draw potential make it a solid inclusion in decks looking to disrupt opponents' board states while maintaining card advantage.

Rules

09/25/20

An ability that triggers when a player casts a kicked spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger, but after targets have been chosen for that spell. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

09/25/20

If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can’t kick it.

09/25/20

Kicker represents an optional additional cost that you may choose to pay as you cast the spell. A spell cast with that additional cost paid is “kicked.”

09/25/20

To determine a spell’s total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card’s effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

10/01/09

If the targeted permanent is an illegal target by the time Into the Roil resolves, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. You don’t draw a card.
