About Calculated Dismissal

Calculated Dismissal, Instant, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in Jul, 2015 in the set Magic Origins and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.35.

A control deck focused on disrupting the opponent's spells and maintaining card advantage would benefit from including Calculated Dismissal in their deck, especially if they can consistently activate spell mastery. While there are other counterspells with more versatile or powerful effects, such as Mana Leak or Cryptic Command, Calculated Dismissal can be a solid inclusion in decks looking to maximize spell mastery triggers and scry for additional card selection. Its effectiveness in a specific deck ultimately depends on the overall strategy and synergy with other cards.

Rules

Check to see if there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard as the spell resolves to determine whether the spell mastery ability applies. The spell itself won’t count because it’s still on the stack as you make this check.

06/22/15

If the spell mastery ability applies, you’ll scry 2 even if the controller of the spell pays .
