Play
Damages a black or green creature or planeswalker for five, exiling it if it dies this turn; keep for matching sideboard opponents.
More
- Pick-Two
- This only answers a black or green creature or planeswalker. It is not general removal merely because it costs two mana.
- Sealed vs Draft
- Check the opponent’s colors before sideboarding this narrow answer; it needs a black or green creature or planeswalker. In a one-game match, there is no between-game sideboard swap.
- Two-Headed Giant
- Your cards and mana remain yours. A shared team turn does not let a teammate pay this card’s costs for you.
