Throw It and Count the Damage
Fling is a compact, efficient burn instant that converts board presence into direct damage. Cast for {1}{R} and played by sacrificing a creature as an additional cost, Fling deals damage equal to the sacrificed creatures power to any target. It is a clean way to turn chump blockers, token armies, or a damaged attacker into removal or a finisher without using sorcery speed, which makes it a reliable inclusion in aggressive red shells and sacrifice synergies.
In practice Fling rewards careful sequencing and readjusting threats. Use it to clear a blocker, take out a planeswalker, or push through lethal when life totals are tight. The Foundations Jumpstart printing keeps the original phrasing so judges and tablemates will recognize the interaction instantly. Flavorwise the art captures that gritty, last moment throw where muscle becomes math and timing matters as much as power.
