Shock the Target
Bolt Bend is a compact tool for reactive pilots who want to twist the tempo mid combat. As an instant from the Foundations set the card rewards board presence by cutting its cost when you control a creature with power 4 or greater and provides flexible target redirection. Play it to save a creature, punish an overreach, or repurpose removal against an opponent; the spell folds into decks that value efficient answers and combat tricks.
The card reads cleanly and does what it promises: it becomes cheaper when a big body anchors your battlefield and it changes the target of a spell or ability with a single target. That simplicity makes it reliable in both limited and constructed shells. Expect it to slot into aggressive decks that still need a measure of interaction and into midrange lists that can leverage a marquee creature to cast the bend for less mana.
