Slicing Opportunity
Bladebrand is an efficient one black instant that converts a creature into a lethal trade engine and replaces itself. Bladebrand gives target creature deathtouch until end of turn and then draws a card. In Ravnica play it is a compact trick that flips combat math in your favor and keeps your hand moving when removal or a favorable block appears.
Use Bladebrand to turn a chump blocker into a deterrent, to push through damage with a risky attacker, or to transform a sacrificial creature into card advantage. The card reads cleanly and performs reliably in aggressive decks and sacrifice builds where a single point of damage can determine trades and tempo.
