Stormborn Purge
Purging Stormbrood is a pragmatic inclusion for any midrange black deck that needs a flying body and a targeted control effect. The card casts for {4}{B} and comes down as a 4/4 flier with ward that forces an opponent to choose paying life. Its enter the battlefield clause removes all counters from up to one target creature which answers proliferate builds and shuts down planeswalker loyalty or persistent counter threats.
The Showcase foil treatment carries Tarkir style while the printed Instant Omen Absorb Essence provides a flexible utility option. Absorb Essence for {1}{W} gives target creature +2/+2 and grants lifelink and hexproof until end of turn which pairs well with combat tricks or protecting a key attacker. If you want a compact answer to counters and a useful instant on the sideboard of your deck list this Near Mint foil fits both roles. Add it to your deck or binder and resolve it in your next game.
