Stolen Vitality — Sudden Surge of Power

Stolen Vitality is a compact red instant built for punchy tempo turns and surprise combat tricks. Cast for {1}{R}, it grants target creature +3/+1 until end of turn. If you play it on your own turn the bonus comes with trample, which turns marginal attackers into threats that can push through blockers. If you use it on an opponent's turn it instead grants first strike, letting your creature trade favorably in combat before damage is assigned.

The card fits cleanly in aggressive and tempo shells; it reads like a last second theft of vigor straight from the Foundations Jumpstart frame, flavoring the image of stolen life fueling a single, decisive strike. Use it to finish off a wary blocker, to push extra damage through a stalled board, or to protect a valuable attacker on defense. Near Mint condition and printed in English, this common is an efficient one mana plus one red that rewards timing and reads well in many red lists. Add it to your deck and test how often one instant swing changes a game.
