Point the Torch
Skewer the Critics is a compact removal spell that earns its keep in any Rakdos aligned deck. The spell deals 3 damage to any target for a total cost of {2}{R} while offering a tight Spectacle option for {R} if an opponent has lost life this turn. It fits the Ravnica Remastered environment where efficient answers and tempo swings determine board state, and it turns small life loss into powerful reach.
Use Skewer the Critics to finish off a blocker, clear a small creature, or close out a damaged planeswalker. The card reads cleanly and plays fast, making it useful both on the play and the draw. Experienced players will slot it where removal density matters and where the Spectacle clause lines up with extra damage sources or aggressive sequencing.
