Bituminous Blast — Cascade the Burn
Bituminous Blast is a compact removal instant that fits cleanly into Rakdos midrange and cascade builds. The card pairs a reliable four point removal with cascade, which lets you dig for insurance while still answering a threat. In play the spell reads simply and directly: it clears a creature for four damage and gives you a chance to hit a cheap backup from the top of your library, an efficient interaction that turns one card into two possible answers.
From a gameplay perspective Bituminous Blast rewards sequencing and deck construction. You will want a library stocked with low cost utility to maximize the cascade upside, and the inclusion from Foundations Jumpstart makes it friendly for draft and sealed play. The art shows a scorched angelic figure breaking apart, a quiet hint that this instant removes a problem and gives you tempo in the same stroke. Add this Near Mint English copy to runs built around cascade effects and creature control.
