Cobra Trap, Instant — trap, designed by Scott Chou first released in Oct, 2009 in the set Zendikar and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.
A deck that focuses on protecting or sacrificing noncreature permanents would benefit from including Cobra Trap, as it offers a potential mana discount for a powerful token generation effect. While Cobra Trap could be useful in decks built around synergies involving noncreature permanents, there may be better options available such as cards like Beast Within or Song of the Dryads for removal, or Parallel Lives for token generation, which may be more versatile in a variety of situations. Whether or not Cobra Trap should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck in question.

Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.

You may ignore a Trap’s alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
