Hard Answer, Harder Hit
Hard-Hitting Question is a one mana sorcery that converts your creature's raw power into targeted removal. Play it after your attacker connects or alongside a pump spell to trade up against bigger threats. It reads as a simple combat trick on a card and functions like a compact pump and burn package all in one. Use it with creatures that have high or modifiable power or with tokens you can mass produce to clear single but dangerous blockers.
The card fits cleanly into midrange and token builds where efficient answers matter. It rewards planning because you can shift damage from combat math to direct removal on a planeswalker or a tough blocker. The flavor nod from Senior Inspector Holjo reinforces the set tone; this is green utility that feels investigative rather than flashy. Practical, flexible and inexpensive, it is the sort of play a confident pilot keeps ready in hand.
