About Illicit Auction

Illicit Auction, Sorcery, designed by Scott Kirschner first released in May, 2020 in the set Mirage and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

A deck that focuses on life gain and manipulation would benefit from including Illicit Auction, as it provides a unique way to gain control of creatures while potentially leveraging life totals as a resource. However, in terms of efficiency and effectiveness, cards like Threaten or Act of Aggression may offer more straightforward and immediate creature theft options without the bidding mechanic. Whether Illicit Auction should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy within the deck, as it offers a more unpredictable and risky approach to creature control compared to other options.

Rules

10/04/04

This is a life loss and not a life payment so you can bid more life than you have.
