Forced Face-Off
Compelled Duel offers a straightforward yet strategic approach to controlling the battlefield with a single green mana and one generic mana. This sorcery grants a creature +3/+3 until end of turn while compelling your opponent’s forces to engage directly, forcing a block if possible. It’s a subtle blend of combat manipulation and temporary power boost that can disrupt your opponent’s attack plans or set up lethal damage when combined with creatures that benefit from forced combat.
Its synergy is particularly notable alongside creatures that thrive on combat interaction or have abilities triggered by blocking or being blocked. Cards like Gruul Spellbreaker or Questing Beast can capitalize on the forced engagement to deal significant damage or trigger secondary effects. In a set brimming with adventurers and unpredictable encounters, Compelled Duel is a reliable tool for steering combat in your favor, especially when you need to isolate key threats or safeguard your life total.
