Condemn
Oracle Text
Put target attacking creature on the bottom of its owner's library. Its controller gains life equal to its toughness.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Condemn is a classic white instant that rewards a patient control or tempo game plan, turning an opponent’s biggest swing into a clean reset for just one mana. Because it only hits attacking creatures, it shines when you can punish overextension, forcing aggressive decks to think twice before committing a key threat. The downside—your opponent gains life equal to that creature’s toughness—matters most against burn or race-focused strategies, so it’s best used when removing the attacker is worth more than the life swing. In deckbuilding, Condemn pairs especially well with cards that encourage attacks into bad blocks, or with effects that tap down, goad, or otherwise funnel creatures into combat before you exile them from relevance. It also works nicely in white-based control shells that want efficient interaction early while saving sweepers for later. The bottom-of-library clause is excellent against graveyard recursion, making Condemn a quietly disruptive answer beyond simple removal.
