Railway Rupture
Explosive Derailment is a compact burst of red reach that finds work in tempo lines and storm piles. Castable for a single red mana it enters as an instant that can be pushed with its Spree options, letting you convert extra resources into precision removal. Use it to clear a blocker for a surprise swing or to finish off a stubborn creature that regenerates or has hexproof from the wrong angles.
The card reads like a toolkit. You can spend additional costs to turn this into a four point strike against a creature or to obliterate an artifact. In constructed play the foil Light Play print gives you a tidy pickup for sideboards, late game cleanups and decks that want cheap interaction with flexible upside. A small touch of Outlaws of Thunder Junction flavor hints at saboteurs in the rails and crews that plan their explosions with purpose.
