Zoyowa's Justice — Fast Swap and Gamble
Zoyowa's Justice is a compact removal spell that trades raw destruction for controlled chaos. For {1}{R} it forces the owner of a target artifact or creature with mana value 1 or greater to shuffle that permanent into their library, then makes them discover a replacement equal to its mana value. Practical in decks that like to deny static board advantage, this instant converts a threat into a library problem while leaving room for surprise outcomes via the discover resolution.
Played from hand or flash backed into a tight spot, Zoyowa's Justice changes the tempo without creating permanent board imbalance. It lines up well against cheap artifacts and creatures and fits into both aggressive builds that want to reset unfavorable trades and midrange decks that prefer top end disruption. The Lost Caverns of Ixalan art and mechanic feel at home in red strategies that accept variance to maintain initiative.

Card Text / Rules Text (Printed) – The owner of target artifact or creature with mana value 1 or greater shuffles it into their library. Then that player discovers X, where X is its mana value. (They exile cards from the top of their library until they exile a nonland card with that mana value or less. They cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into their hand. They put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)
