Siege the Night
Invasion of Innistrad is a compact engine for controlling combat on a haunted plane. Castable for {2}{B}{B}, this Battle arrives with Flash so it answers developing attacks and plays around timing; it also taxes your opponent by forcing a target to be the focus of assaults. An experienced pilot will use the entry trigger to neuter a blocking threat and then steer attackers toward the chosen opponent, turning combat math into a one sided ledger.
The card flips the usual defensive script of Innistrad into an offensive tool. Its enter the battlefield line punishes overextended boards, the protect clause funnels attacks in predictable ways, and the defeat mechanic transitions the game state further when you lock down the right targets. Use it in midrange or control decks that value tempo swings and removal redundancy. Add this Near Mint English printing to a sealed or draft collection and you gain a flexible answer that fits the set lore without overcommitting your resources.
