About Stain the Mind

Stain the Mind, Sorcery, designed by Jason Rainville first released in Jul, 2014 in the set Magic 2015 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 78.21.

A deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's strategy by removing key cards from their graveyard, hand, and library would benefit from using Stain the Mind. While it can be a powerful tool against certain combo or control decks, its high mana cost and reliance on convoke may limit its effectiveness in faster-paced or more aggressive matchups. Other cards like Surgical Extraction or Extirpate may offer more flexibility and efficiency in similar strategies, making them potentially better choices depending on the specific metagame.
