Description
Nature's Brutal Swap
Beast Within is a go to instant for practical removal in Commander games. Casting it at instant speed lets you neutralize a troublesome permanent regardless of type. The trade is straightforward. You wipe the problem and your opponent gets a 3 3 green Beast token. That token rarely undoes the tempo or board advantage you gain when you remove a planeswalker artifact or enchantment at a critical moment.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan play environments this card fits into both aggressive green decks and toolbox lists that prize flexible answers. Use it as an answer to infinite combos, a way to clear blockers, or to remove a sacrifice engine that is otherwise hard to target. The line between efficient interaction and acceptable concession is clear and this card sits squarely on the efficient side.
