Oracle Text
Target creature gets +3/+0 and gains first strike until end of turn. (It deals combat damage before creatures without first strike.)
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Sure Strike is a classic red combat trick that best supports aggro and tempo strategies: for {1}{R} you turn an early attacker into a must-answer threat by giving +3/+0 and first strike until end of turn, allowing favorable trades or unexpected lethal. As an instant it excels both on the attack—pushing damage through blockers—and on the block—turning a would‑be trade into a survivor—so treat it as your primary way to buy incremental tempo and close out games. It pairs particularly well with low‑cost, high‑synergy creatures and spell‑spike archetypes: run it alongside prowess creatures to get extra triggers, or pair it with deathtouch carriers and trample sources so that the single point of damage converts into a permanent swing in board state. Deckbuilding tip: include a suite of cheap pumps and reach burn to make the most of each triggered combat window, and keep a dense creature curve so Sure Strike rarely fizzles.
