Steer Clear — Ride the Recoil
Steer Clear is a concise removal tool that reads like a practical playbook note. For {1}{W} this Instant deals 2 damage to a target attacking or blocking creature. If you had a Mount in play when you cast it the spell doubles its bite and deals 4 damage instead. The foil art shows a rider being thrown from a horned mount across dusty plains which fits the set tone and signals a card built for tempo and combat tricks.
From a gameplay perspective use it to punish overcommitments on offense or to finish off a blocker that survives a trade. The conditional upgrade rewards decks that pursue Mount synergies and encourages sequencing creatures and spells to get the extra damage. This Light Play Foil copy is a clean pick for players who want a staple instant that answers threats while complementing Outlaws of Thunder Junction's frontier flavor.
