Baleful Mastery is a pragmatic removal spell that gives you an alternate route to clear a threat late in the game. Castable for {3}{B}, it also lets you pay {1}{B} instead of the full mana cost to exile a creature or planeswalker. The alternate cost carries a trade off since an opponent draws a card when you use it, but the exchange often favors the player who needs a clean board reset or a targeted answer to a commander or key blocker.
In Outlaws of Thunder Junction the card feels at home in black stacks that value disruption and resource trades. Use it to exile evasive threats or opposing planeswalkers that outvalue you. The card reads plainly so you can plan sequences around the opponent drawing a card. Condition is Near Mint and the card is English so it slots into competitive or casual lists without fuss.
