How do instant cards work in MTG?
Instant cards are like your secret weapons in Magic The Gathering. You can play them during almost any phase of the game – your turn, your opponent's turn, whenever really – as long as you got the mana. Big move is to wait till your opponent thinks they've got the upper hand, then BAM! Drop an instant card. Great for surprise attacks or to suddenly change the game's direction. Just make sure you're reading the room (and the game) right!

I see instant cards as the game's 'Gotcha!' moments. Played right, they turn tides. Played wrong, they're just mana waste. Timing is everything. Caught an opponent off guard once with a well-timed instant. Nothing beats that look of 'oops' on their face.
Instants are simple: use them anytime. Doesn't matter if it's not your turn. That’s what makes them powerful and unpredictable.
