About Vector Asp

Vector Asp, Artifact creature — phyrexian snake, designed by Erica Yang first released in Oct, 2010 in the set Scars of Mirrodin. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.70. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and aims to win quickly would benefit from including Vector Asp, especially in a Phyrexian-themed deck or one that utilizes -1/-1 counters synergies. While Vector Asp can be a useful tool for applying poison counters and weakening opposing creatures, there are potentially better options like Glistener Elf or Blight Mamba that offer more immediate threat potential or resilience. However, Vector Asp could still see play in certain niche strategies or casual decks that can capitalize on its unique abilities effectively.
