Caustic Exhale — Pinpoint Dragonbane
Caustic Exhale is a compact removal instant that rewards Dragon support. Cast for a single black mana, it asks you to behold a Dragon or pay an extra one. In practice the spell reads as a cheap conditional removal tool that clips a blocker or finishes off a threatened creature by giving target creature -3/-3 until end of turn. The Near Mint foil print from Tarkir Dragonstorm gives the card a polished look for collectors and players who prefer premium stock in their sideboard or main deck.
From a play perspective Caustic Exhale is efficient in a Dragon shell and serviceable in any deck that can reliably meet the behold requirement. If you run Dragons or keep a spare Dragon in hand the extra cost vanishes and the card becomes a low curve answer to early threats. The artwork shows a corrosive breath laid over a swampy encounter and fits the set theme where Dragon presence changes the cost equation on the battlefield. Slot it where you need repeatable cheap interaction and bring predictable answers to combat math.
