Desperate Measures — Risk Reward in a Single Black Snap
Desperate Measures is a compact instant that rewards bold play. Cast this Tarkir Dragonstorm piece for {B} to give a creature +1/-1 until end of turn. If that creature dies under your control that turn you draw two cards, turning a sacrifice or a risky trade into immediate card advantage. The foil treatment gleams cleanly in hand and reads reliably on the table for players who prize tight, tempo minded plays.
The card works well in sacrifice shells, aggressive decks that push damage through, or as a surprise Trick in midrange builds. The wording on this Near Mint Foil matches the printed text and the art evokes a last stand feeling without overstating it. Use it to close races where losing a creature is acceptable or to replace spent resources with two fresh cards; experienced players will value the predictable timing and the cheap conversion of presence into selection.
