Breath That Bends the Battle
Piercing Exhale is a compact, tactical instant from Tarkir Dragonstorm that turns your creature into a precision weapon. Castable for {1}{G}, it asks for a little setup and rewards you with targeted removal or a big trade. Use it to have a creature you control deal damage equal to its power to a blocking threat or a planeswalker, and gain extra value when you behold a Dragon.
From a gameplay view this card sits well in midrange and tribal builds where Dragons are common and you can reliably meet the behold clause. The surveil two bonus when a Dragon is beheld helps sculpt the next draw and fuel graveyard synergies. If you collect or play with near mint English copies of Tarkir Dragonstorm, this common offers flexible interaction without committing your entire turn. Add it to a sideboard or a main for efficient, situational answers and tighter combat math.
