Horrific Assault is a compact green sorcery from Modern Horizons 3 that fits into creature heavy strategies. For {1}{G}{G}, you choose a creature you control and that creature deals damage equal to its power to a target creature or planeswalker you don't control. The spell trades a threat for another threat, letting you pressure an opposing creature or planeswalker without adding more attackers. If you control an Eldrazi, you gain 3 life, adding a touch of resilience to your momentum.
The flavor text nods to Innistrad's shifting forms and Emrakul's lingering influence, a fitting echo for this set's themes. In practice, Horrific Assault is a predictable but effective tool in green decks, giving you a reliable way to remove a block or finish off a planeswalker on a single card.
