About Lobotomy

Lobotomy, Sorcery, designed by Thomas M. Baxa first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 56.05.

A control deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's strategy by removing key pieces from their hand, graveyard, and library would benefit from including Lobotomy in their deck. While Lobotomy can be effective in certain situations, there are better options available such as Surgical Extraction or Extirpate, which offer more immediate and versatile graveyard hate. Lobotomy could see play in a sideboard against combo decks or specific strategies, but may not be a maindeck staple due to its situational nature.
