New Way Forward — Redirect the Strike
New Way Forward gives a clean, reactive answer when your life total is under fire. Cast this instant on the opponent's turn to prevent the next source of your choice from dealing damage to you this turn and turn that aggression back into advantage. The card rewards timing and reads well in midrange and control shells that can afford a three color splash in blue red and white.
The Near Mint Foil borderless presentation from Tarkir Dragonstorm makes this a sensible pick for play and display. In play it functions as both removal and card draw since the prevented damage is dealt back to the source controller and you draw that many cards. Use it to stabilize a race, punish overcommitted attackers, or convert burn into card advantage.
