Plowshare Peace
Swords to Plowshares is a concise and efficient answer to problematic creatures. Cast it for {W} to exile any target creature cleanly; its controller gains life equal to that creature's power. In Commander play and singleton environments the ability to remove a threat without triggering graveyard synergies keeps lines of play simple and predictable, which fits well with defensive or tempo oriented decks on the Tarkir battlefield.
The artwork and name suggest transformation rather than annihilation, and the card functions the same way in gameplay by turning aggression into breathing room. Use this uncommon instant as a one mana insurance policy against a resolved blocker or an emerging combo piece. Experienced players value the timing flexibility and the permanent elimination of a problem permanent; keep this card handy when you need a low cost, high impact play.
