Windswift Slice

Description

Windswift Slice, designated as card number 128 in the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Tales of Middle-earth Commander subset, offers a strategic interaction defined by its green mana identity. This Instant card requires {2}{G} to cast and serves as a potent tool for players looking to manipulate creature combat dynamics. The card’s unique effect allows a target creature you control to deal damage equal to its power to a target creature you do not control, creating a dynamic exchange of force that can shift the battlefield state in your favor. Beyond the immediate damage, Windswift Slice provides significant card advantage by creating 1/1 green Elf Warrior creature tokens equal to any excess damage dealt. This mechanic rewards aggressive strategies and synergizes well with decks focused on token production and combat prowess. Illustrated by Narendra Bintara Adi, this Rare card captures the essence of the Tales of Middle-earth expansion, bringing fantasy conflict to the tabletop. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often seek out specific subset cards like this Commander edition to complete their collections or to explore the thematic depth of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium within the game. The card’s straightforward yet impactful rules text makes it a recognizable and useful addition to any green-based deck looking to control the board.
