Put Them Away
Condemn gives you a clean answer at instant speed. For a single white mana you can remove any attacking creature from the combat by returning it to the bottom of its owner's library while the opponent gains life equal to that creature's toughness. As a reaction on the declare attackers step it stops damage, removes tricky threats that survive removal, and buys you tempo without permanently exiling resources.
The Ravnica Remastered retro frame preserves the straightforward text and plays well in control or midrange lists that value predictable interaction. Condemn is best when you need a reliable way to break combat math or to repel a single large attacker that would otherwise trade favorably. Experienced players slot it where a soft removal spell that avoids exile and counters is useful, particularly against creatures with enter the battlefield triggers.
