Steer Clear
Steer Clear is a compact instant removal that reads like a battle plan. Cast for {1}{W}, it deals 2 damage to an attacking or blocking creature and upgrades to 4 damage if you controlled a Mount when you cast it. That conditional boost makes it tidy removal against larger combat threats when your board has a Mount to back it up. Use it on the stack after blockers are declared to cleanly alter combat math or to finish off a battered attacker.
From a gameplay perspective this is both a combat trick and a piece of targeted removal. It fits cleanly into white aggressive or midrange lists that run Mounts as synergies or as incidental creatures. In limited play it is straightforward and dependable. In constructed play it trades efficiently and rewards careful sequencing around Mount triggers and stack interaction.
