About Slaughter Pact

Slaughter Pact, Instant, designed by Kev Walker first released in May, 2007 in the set Future Sight and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 14.02.

A deck that aims to control the board and maintain tempo would benefit from including Slaughter Pact, as it offers a powerful removal option at instant speed for no mana cost initially. However, the risk of losing the game if the upkeep cost is not paid can be a significant drawback, so it is important to carefully consider the deck's mana curve and overall strategy before including it. Other cards like Fatal Push or Path to Exile may offer more consistent removal options without the potential downside of losing the game, making them potentially better choices depending on the deck's needs and playstyle.

Rules

03/19/21

If Slaughter Pact resolves with a legal target but the target is not destroyed (perhaps because it has indestructible or regenerated), the delayed triggered ability will still trigger at the beginning of your next upkeep and you will have to pay the cost or lose the game.

Although originally printed with a characteristic-defining ability that defined its color, this card now has a color indicator. This color indicator can’t be affected by text-changing effects (such as the one created by Crystal Spray), although color-changing effects can still overwrite it.
