Redirect with Precision
Carom puts a small but decisive tempo play into your hands. For {1}{W} this instant moves the next point of damage from one creature onto another and then replaces itself with a card draw. Use it to save a key blocker, turn a trade in your favor, or redirect a damaging ping so your tempo does not crumble. The effect is surgical and immediate which suits decks that profit from precise interaction and careful board sequencing.
On Ravnica the Boros prefer direct answers and straightforward engineering. Carom fits that philosophy by offering a flexible response window during combat or a crucial spark against burn and removal. The spell reads cleanly on the stack and rewards timing. Experienced players will slot it where a single point shifts trades or preserves a threat that matters next turn.
