Close Encounter: Tactical Damage on Demand
Close Encounter from the Edge of Eternities set offers a versatile response for green decks that favor strategic damage allocation. This near mint foil instant demands a thoughtful choice as an additional cost: you must select either a creature you control or a warped creature card you own in exile. The spell then deals damage equal to the chosen creature’s power to a target creature, allowing precise removal or combat manipulation in response to your opponent’s moves.
This card’s design promotes interaction with creatures already on your battlefield or those lingering in exile, encouraging synergy with strategies that leverage warped creature cards. It serves as an efficient tool for controlling the board state without overcommitting mana, making it a practical addition for players seeking reactive plays with a green mana investment. Its foil near mint condition ensures both usability and appeal for collectors and competitive players alike.
