Bone Breath for the Battlefield
Osseous Exhale is a compact removal instant that reads like a dragonhunter's concise plan. Castable for {1}{W}, it kills an attacking or blocking creature for five damage while offering a bonus when you behold a Dragon. The Near Mint Foil shows Camille Louvier's artwork crisply, the exhalation of bone and steam rendered with clarity that highlights game decisive moments.
In practical play this card answers big ground threats cleanly and can be cycled into life gain when your Dragon tribe is present. Use it as a tempo reset against an opponent's combat trick or to clear a blocker so your own flyers can connect. The language and behold clause fit Tarkir's dragon‑centered themes making the card an efficient piece in white removal suites or Dragon support shells.
