Moonlit Verdict
Luminous Rebuke is a practical removal tool that rewards timing and board awareness. At first glance the card reads simply, but the cost reduction when targeting a tapped creature changes how you sequence your turns. Play it cleanly after a combat step or following a tap effect to turn what would be a high cost into an efficient single white removal. The Near Mint Foil finish from the Foundations set adds a subtle sheen that looks sharp in play and display without obscuring the art or text.
From a deckbuilding perspective Luminous Rebuke fits well in midrange white lists and control shells that can reliably present tapped threats. Use combat tricks or tempo plays to create windows where the three mana discount matters most. The printed rules text reads accurately as a straightforward destroy effect, which makes this card predictable and easy to plan around during a match. Add it when you need dependable single target removal that scales with your ability to manipulate the board.
