About Bolt Bend

Bolt Bend, Instant, designed by Svetlin Velinov first released in Apr, 2019 in the set War of the Spark and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

This card, Bolt Bend, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on high-power creatures, as it can be cast for a reduced cost if you control such a creature and can effectively redirect spells or abilities with single targets. While Bolt Bend can be a useful and unexpected trick to have in your arsenal, there may be better options depending on the specific strategy of your deck, such as cards like Deflecting Swat or Ricochet Trap, which offer similar effects with potentially more versatility. Ultimately, whether Bolt Bend should see play would depend on the overall synergy and game plan of the deck it is included in.
