About Startle
Startle, Instant, designed by Craig J Spearing first released in Sep, 2021 in the set Innistrad: Midnight Hunt and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.
A tempo-based blue-black control deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's board while maintaining card advantage would benefit from using Startle in Magic: the Gathering. While Startle offers a versatile option with creature removal and token generation, there are potentially better options like Fatal Push or Drown in the Loch for more efficient removal. Startle could see play in specific metagames where the decayed token is relevant or in decks looking for incremental advantage, but its overall impact may be limited compared to other removal spells.
