About Comparative Analysis

Comparative Analysis, Instant, designed by Willian Murai first released in Jan, 2016 in the set Oath of the Gatewatch.

This card, Comparative Analysis, would benefit a control or tempo deck that aims to draw additional cards and maintain card advantage. While it offers the potential for card draw at a reduced cost with its surge ability, there are more efficient card draw options available in formats like Magic: the Gathering. Cards like Opt or Chart a Course may be better choices for similar effects at a lower cost, making Comparative Analysis less likely to see play in competitive decks unless the surge ability can consistently be activated.

Rules

01/22/16

For some cards, surge represents only an alternative cost, a discount that applies if you or a teammate has cast another spell this turn. Other cards, like Reckless Bushwhacker, have additional abilities or effects if you paid the surge cost to cast the spell.

01/22/16

If an instant or sorcery spell cast for its surge cost is copied, the copy is also considered to have had its surge cost paid.
