Bleed Dry — Clean Kill
Bleed Dry is a compact removal instant that resolves conflicts cleanly. Castable for {2}{B}{B}, it reduces a target creature by thirteen toughness and power until end of turn, which ends most threats outright. The second clause moves bodies out of graveyard politics by exiling a creature that would die that turn, which matters when opponents rely on death triggers or recursion engines.
The card fits naturally into midrange and control shells where spot removal and interaction with graveyard synergies are needed. Use Bleed Dry to finish a trampler, stop a growing threat on the stack, or deny a sacrifice trigger. The flavor line about civility hints at the set tone while the effect stays direct and decisive for practical play. Add it to lists that value hard answers to big bodies and exile certainty.
