About Collateral Damage

Collateral Damage, Instant, designed by Ryan Barger first released in Jan, 2015 in the set Fate Reforged and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Brawl. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.35.

Collateral Damage would be beneficial in a red aggressive deck that focuses on sacrificing creatures for value and dealing direct damage to the opponent or key creatures. While it provides a quick burst of damage, other cards like Lightning Bolt or Searing Blaze may be more efficient in terms of damage output for the same cost, making them better options in most scenarios. However, Collateral Damage could still see play in specific strategies that rely on sacrificing creatures for additional benefits or as a surprise finisher.
