About Silkwrap

Silkwrap, Enchantment, designed by Adam Paquette first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of £ 0.26.

A white control or tempo deck would benefit from including Silkwrap, as it can temporarily remove low-cost threats from the battlefield while providing a small advantage. However, cards like Journey to Nowhere offer a more permanent removal solution for creatures with mana value 3 or less in certain situations, making it a potentially better alternative to Silkwrap depending on the deck's strategy and playstyle. Overall, Silkwrap could see play as a budget-friendly option or as a supplement to other removal spells in a white-based deck.

Rules

02/25/15

Face-down creatures have a converted mana cost of 0. If one is exiled by Silkwrap, it will return to the battlefield face up.

02/25/15

If a creature token is exiled, it ceases to exist. It won’t be returned to the battlefield.

02/25/15

If Silkwrap leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, the target creature won’t be exiled.

02/25/15

In a multiplayer game, if Silkwrap’s owner leaves the game, the exiled card will return to the battlefield. Because the one-shot effect that returns the card isn’t an ability that goes on the stack, it won’t cease to exist along with the leaving player’s spells and abilities on the stack.
