Lash Out

Description

The Magic: The Gathering card Lash Out, identified as LRW-183, is a red instant from the 2020 The List set. Designed by Scott Hampton, this common card provides a dynamic interaction option for players who enjoy high-stakes decisions during their turns. With a mana cost of {1}{R} and a mana value of 2, Lash Out serves as an efficient removal spell that also offers potential additional value through its unique clash mechanic. When cast, Lash Out deals 3 damage to a target creature. However, the card's true strategic depth comes from the clash effect. Each clashing player reveals the top card of their library and places it on either the top or bottom of their library. If the player who cast Lash Out wins the clash, they deal an additional 3 damage to the creature's controller. This mechanic encourages players to consider their library's top card and their opponent's potential moves, adding a layer of prediction and bluffing to the game. Lash Out stands out as a card that blends straightforward removal with strategic complexity. Its red color identity makes it a fit for aggressive and midrange decks, while the clash mechanic ensures it remains interesting even in casual play. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your collection of The List cards, Lash Out offers a compelling blend of power and decision-making.
