In the anime, you could just kind of activate traps whenever you wanted to, unlike the trap cards in the actual card game, that have certain times they're allowed to be played
While this card is Face-Up defense position, your opponent can only target this card with attacks or card effects and this card cannot be destroyed by battle
It makes sense in Commander decks that: Want flexible black interaction Care about hitting land drops Can use modal double-faced cards well Need creature and planeswalker removal Prefer cards that reduce dead draws Have enough life cushion to pay 3 life sometimes It is especially appealing in decks where every card slot is tight
Although the listed standard price is $34, Graded, Reverse Holofoil versions of the card can fetch over $1000 at auction
You can untap and perform your combo freely, and since it's immune to instant speed removal, your opponents only hope is to try and counter it
