Search your library for a card, put that card into your hand, discard a card at random, then shuffle.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Gamble is one of Magic’s most iconic red tutors, perfectly capturing the reckless ingenuity of a color that would rather seize opportunity now than wait for certainty later. In gameplay, it best supports combo and value-oriented red shells, especially decks that can turn “discard a card at random” into an advantage instead of a drawback. The strongest use is to search for a key piece when your deck has redundancy, recursion, or graveyard payoff: think Reanimator-style strategies, Madness cards, flashback effects, or commanders that benefit from cards in the graveyard. It also plays well in tempo decks that can afford a little variance if the chosen card dramatically improves the current board or next turn. A smart deckbuilding tip is to pair Gamble with expendable cards, extra lands, or recursion engines like Underworld Breach-style effects, so the random discard becomes far less punishing.
