Midnight's Final Measure
Stroke of Midnight is an efficient removal spell that trades a problematic permanent for a modest blocker. Casting for {2}{W}, this Instant destroys any target nonland permanent and leaves the opponent with a 1/1 white Human creature token. In practice the exchange often favors you because the board gap created by removing a planeswalker, artifact or large creature is rarely closed by a single tiny token.
Play it on an opponent turn to dodge responses and to trade up in tempo. Stroke of Midnight fits cleanly into control shells, midrange decks that need spot answers, and white decks that leverage token synergies. Comes Near Mint and English from the Foundations set. Add one to your sideboard or main deck and tighten up your removal suite.
