Clash of Claws
Duel for Dominance is a compact Instant from Innistrad Remastered that rewards thoughtful sequencing and board presence. Castable for {1}{G}, it targets one creature you control and one creature an opponent controls, then has those creatures fight. If you meet Coven by controlling three or more creatures with different powers, the spell also places a +1/+1 counter on your chosen creature before the fight resolves. This makes the card a practical removal answer or an efficient way to trade up while advancing your board state.
On Innistrad, fights are rarely tidy. Duel for Dominance fits into go wide strategies or midrange decks that already keep multiple creatures in play and want flexible interaction without committing to permanent removal. Use it to clear a blocker, protect a key attacker, or turn an unfavorable combat into a winning exchange. Experienced pilots will value the spell for its timing choices and its synergy with token generators and creatures that care about counters. Add it to your sideboard when you expect a meta with a lot of single large threats.
