Borrowed Hostility — Snap Tactics
Borrowed Hostility is a compact red instant from Innistrad Remastered that gives you a clean combat answer in limited or constructed play. The card reads simply yet offers flexible interaction. For one red mana you can push a creature for an aggressive strike or grant first strike to turn a trade in your favor. The Escalate ability scales the spell when you need both effects in the same turn.
This printing suits aggressive decks and tempo lines that rely on timely removal avoidance or surprise combat math. Use Borrowed Hostility to pump a blocker for extra damage or to give a key attacker first strike and secure a favorable exchange. The card plays well as a one mana trick, and escalates into a two mode surprise when you pay the additional cost.
