About Ruthless Sniper

Ruthless Sniper, Creature — human archer, designed by Sara Winters first released in Apr, 2017 in the set Amonkhet and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.31.

Ruthless Sniper would be most beneficial in a black-blue cycling deck in Magic: the Gathering, where players frequently cycle or discard cards to trigger its ability and control the board by putting -1/-1 counters on opposing creatures. However, the card may not be optimal compared to more versatile options like Archfiend of Ifnir, which can have a greater impact on the game. While Ruthless Sniper could see play in specific strategies, its effectiveness may be limited in more competitive environments.

Rules

04/18/17

An ability that triggers whenever you discard a card doesn’t give you permission to discard cards. You’ll need another effect that instructs or allows you to discard them.

04/18/17

If a player discards a card during their cleanup step due to having too many cards in hand, any appropriate abilities that trigger on discarding that card trigger. If this happens, those triggered abilities are put onto the stack and players receive priority in that cleanup step to cast spells or activate abilities (normally, no players may take actions during a cleanup step). Another cleanup step is created following that one.

04/18/17

While resolving Ruthless Sniper’s triggered ability, you can’t pay multiple times to put more counters on creatures.
