Description
Bitter Triumph
Bitter Triumph is a concise removal spell that trades a small resource for decisive board control. Bitter Triumph gives you access to instant speed answers against creatures and planeswalkers for the cost of either discarding a card or paying three life. That choice makes the card flexible in midrange or control shells where hand quality and life total are both currencies you manage deliberately.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore the card reads like a cold bargain struck in the shadows. Use Bitter Triumph to stop a threatening attacker or take down a problematic planeswalker before it accumulates value. Players who value efficient answers will slot this into a suite of single target removal and treat the alternate cost as a tactical lever rather than simply a drawback.
