Collision Course deals damage equal to a creature's power to another target creature — instant-speed, scalable removal that doubles as a combat trick. It's a solid role-player in aggressive creature decks, though it blanks entirely against non-combat threats.

In Commander, Collision Course earns a spot in go-wide or voltron shells where your creatures routinely hit high power, turning a single attacker into a removal spell before blockers are declared. In competitive 1v1 formats like Modern and Pioneer, it competes in a crowded field of similar spells and only pulls ahead when the power differential is large enough to justify the sorcery-speed window most equivalents demand — being an instant is its genuine edge. Pauper is where Collision Course sees the most consistent interest, slotting into aggressive red or Gruul lists that can reliably present a 4+ power creature by turn three.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Collision Course is deep bulk — you're paying for a functional common with narrow upside. At that price it's a no-hesitation inclusion if the effect fits your deck, and there's no meaningful floor left to fall through.
