Glass Asp, Creature — snake, designed by Richard Kane Ferguson first released in Oct, 2006 in the set Time Spiral.
A deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and wants to pressure the opponent's life total would benefit from including Glass Asp, as it provides a consistent source of damage and can potentially drain the opponent's life if they don't pay the additional cost. However, there are better options available, such as Wasteland Viper, which has a similar effect but also offers deathtouch for additional utility. Glass Asp may not see widespread play in competitive Magic: The Gathering decks due to its relatively high mana cost and more efficient alternatives.

After Glass Asp’s triggered ability resolves, the affected player has the ability to perform a special action of paying . This action may be performed any time the player has priority, and it doesn’t use the stack. It may be performed only once. Once that player’s next draw step begins, the player no longer has the ability to perform this action. If the player performed the action, the delayed “lose 2 life” triggered ability won’t trigger. Otherwise, it will.
