Breath to Ground the Sky
Osseous Exhale is a compact removal instant that reads cleanly and hits hard. Cast for {1}{W}, it deals 5 damage to a target attacking or blocking creature and can be cast in combat to answer a lethal threat. The additional behold mechanic rewards Dragon-centric lines by letting you choose a Dragon you control or reveal one from your hand; when you do, you also gain 2 life which can swing close races back into your favor.
The card fits into midrange and control shells where single-target removal matters and where a modest life buffer is useful. In limited formats this card trades efficiently against bigger attackers while in constructed it doubles as a tempo play against aggressive decks. The artwork and wording tie into Tarkir’s dragonflavored tension, making this a practical choice for players who want straightforward interaction with a wrinkle for Dragon synergies. Add it to sideboards or main decks that value a flexible white instant.
