Mind Swords · Compendium

If you control a Swamp, you may sacrifice a creature rather than pay this spell's mana cost. Each player exiles two cards from their hand.

Mox strategy

Mind Swords is a low-cost black sorcery that exiles two cards from each player's hand, disrupting opponent resources. Its key strength is the alternative cost to sacrifice a creature if you control a Swamp, enabling aggressive, creature-heavy decks to cast it for cheap or free. It excels in disruption strategies and synergy with token or sacrifice themes, fueling graveyard or death triggers. Best used in decks that can afford to pay with creatures and want to disrupt opponents' hands while maintaining board presence. Ideal with cards that benefit from sacrificing creatures or with creatures that generate value on death.
