Consume and Clear
Eaten Alive is a practical removal spell for players who value board control and efficient answers. The card forces a choice at casting time: either trade a creature to exile an opposing threat or pay three and a black mana to do the same. That flexibility fits decks that pivot between attrition and resource investment, and the printed requirement adds a tactical layer you can plan around during sequencing and combat math.
In play the effect is straightforward and reliable; exile removes graveyard recursion and neutralizes planeswalkers as cleanly as creatures. Use Eaten Alive when you need a guaranteed node of removal that scales with your board state. Experienced players will appreciate how the extra cost shapes decisions and tempo late in the game. Add it to control shells or sacrifice synergies where the choice to pay or sacrifice reads like a play instruction rather than a guess.
