Abrade — Two Paths to Removal
Abrade from the Foundations set is a compact, efficient answer in red. This borderless foil light play copy gives you the familiar Instant flexibility that experienced players appreciate: you can either deal three damage to a blocker or finish off a small threat, or else remove an artifact that is disrupting your plan. The card reads cleanly on the battlefield and the foil treatment highlights the fiery art, making it both a solid play and a nice pick for a collection.
The practical value is immediate in both limited and constructed environments. Use Abrade to clear a creature that is dodging burn or to smash an early mana rock. The wording on the card offers a simple decision at instant speed, which means you keep tempo while answering key threats. Card interplay and timing matter; cast it on an opponent turn to bait bad blocks or to deny activation windows for an artifact. Pick this foil for utility in red decks or as a playset staple to shore up your removal suite.
