Light That Pays in Creatures
Devouring Light is a compact removal spell that scales with your board. The card lets you tap creatures to help cast it through Convoke, turning bodies into mana so the price of exile becomes a strategic choice rather than a raw drain on your resources. In practice Devouring Light rewards token strategies and aggressive creature shells that can spare a blocker or two to cleanly remove an attacking or blocking threat.
From a Ravnica perspective this instant fits the guildhall logic of trading manpower for precision answers. Use it to stop a lethal attacker or to neutralize a blocker that would otherwise stall your tempo. The printed text and Convoke timing make it straightforward to sequence around combat damage and combat tricks while keeping your curve intact.
