About Unstable Footing

Unstable Footing, Instant, designed by Nic Klein first released in Oct, 2009 in the set Zendikar. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 6.11.

This Instant card, Unstable Footing, would be beneficial in a red aggressive deck looking to finish off opponents quickly. It can bypass damage prevention effects and potentially deal a significant amount of damage to a player or planeswalker if kicked. However, for a more efficient and versatile option, players might consider cards like Lightning Bolt or Skewer the Critics, which offer similar damage potential for a lower cost and can target creatures as well. Overall, while Unstable Footing has its niche uses, it may not be a top choice for competitive play due to its mana cost and limited target options.

Rules

10/01/09

If a creature is dealt lethal damage, it can still regenerate. If it does, the damage marked on it will be removed from it.

10/01/09

If damage can’t be prevented, static abilities that prevent damage (including protection abilities) don’t do so. If they have additional effects that don’t depend on the amount of damage prevented, those additional effects will still work. Such effects are applied only once per source of damage.

10/01/09

Unstable Footing’s effect causes damage from all sources to be unpreventable, not just damage from Unstable Footing itself.
