Caught in the Crossfire — Red Instant for Tactical Board Control Caught in the Crossfire is a compact red instant that splits the table and punishes clustered threats. The spree mechanic gives you modular value. Pay the base cost to land a two damage sweep across either all outlaw creatures or all non outlaw creatures. As a reactive tool it reads well against go wide strategies and against single big threats when you select the appropriate spree option.
From a deck building perspective this card finds a home in aggressive midrange decks that want flexible removal without overcommitting mana. In limited this is straightforward removal that scales with board composition. The lore ties back to Thunder Junctions chaotic standoffs where stray bullets decide who stays and who rides out, which makes the card feel true to the set while remaining highly practical at the table.
