Bitter Triumph
Bitter Triumph is a compact removal spell that asks for a price before delivering a decisive outcome. Casting Bitter Triumph for {1}{B} forces you to either discard a card or pay three life as an additional cost. In return you remove a single threat by destroying target creature or planeswalker. That tradeoff makes the card a tight tactical tool in midrange and control lists where resource management is part of the game plan.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore the effect reads like a final reckoning. Use Bitter Triumph when a single target needs to be cleared cleanly and the timing matters. The card fits into graveyard synergies when you need a discard and into low life scenarios when three points matter. Experienced players will find it useful both as an answer to problematic permanents and as a lever to enable other plays that care about cards in hand or life totals.
