About Cruel Truths

Cruel Truths, Instant, designed by Fajareka Setiawan first released in Mar, 2025 in the set Tarkir: Dragonstorm. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

An aggressive black control deck focused on card advantage and graveyard interaction would benefit from using Cruel Truths, as it provides a way to filter through the deck while also setting up future draws and potentially fueling graveyard synergies. While there may be more efficient card draw options available, the combination of surveil, card draw, and life loss makes Cruel Truths a versatile and potentially powerful tool in the right deck archetype, and it could see play as a solid mid-to-late game card advantage engine.
