About Devouring Light

Devouring Light, Instant, designed by Pete Venters first released in Oct, 2005 in the set Ravnica: City of Guilds and was printed exactly in 9 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.04.

A deck that focuses on controlling the battlefield and disrupting the opponent's combat strategy would benefit from including Devouring Light. Its ability to exile an attacking or blocking creature can be a powerful removal tool, especially when combined with the convoke mechanic to potentially cast it for less mana. While there may be other removal spells with different advantages, such as instant speed or additional effects, Devouring Light could still see play in decks looking for efficient creature removal in a white-based strategy.
