Snap Shock: Defibrillating Current
Defibrillating Current is a compact removal spell that reads clean and executes predictably. The sorcery lets you deal 4 damage to a creature or planeswalker while putting 2 life back on the board, which makes it useful both as a tempo play and as a stabilizer against aggressive decks. In Tarkir context the card pairs with both red aggression and white's life buffer so it slots into midrange shells that want flexible interaction without overcommitting mana curves.
As played widely, Defibrillating Current answers a wide threat and leaves you slightly ahead on life, a small swing that matters in tight matches. Use it after combat tricks resolve or as a surprise removal during your main phase. The printed text is straightforward and consistent with older templating so there is no ambiguity in targeting or resolution. Pick it up for boards that need reliable spot removal and a modest life gain at uncommon cost.
