You choose a creature you control and have it deal damage equal to its power to another target creature. If the strike overkills the defender the spell turns that surplus into discover value, letting you find a nonland card with converted mana cost up to the excess and either cast it for free or add it to your hand. This plays well in lists that aim to trade efficiently while digging for answers or secondary threats.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlayed from a practical perspective, this card rewards careful matchup reading and damage math. Use it to funnel lethal through a blocker you cannot otherwise remove or to trigger damage based synergies on your creature. In Commander games the mode can net card advantage without committing resources beyond its modest cost and gives you a clean way to convert favorable combat outcomes into immediate board development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eCard Details:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMana Cost\u003c\/b\u003e – {1}{G}\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Type\u003c\/b\u003e – Sorcery\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSubtypes\u003c\/b\u003e – None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Text \/ Rules Text (Printed)\u003c\/b\u003e – Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to another target creature.
