Grounded for Life · Compendium

This spell costs less to cast if it targets a tapped creature. Destroy target creature.

Mox strategy

Grounded for Life is a five-mana white removal spell that can become a very efficient two-mana answer when the target is tapped. Its main strength is flexibility: it’s unconditional creature removal, but the cost reduction makes it strong in combat-heavy formats where creatures tap often. Best use cases are in limited or slower casual decks that can reliably force taps with attackers, tap effects, or combat tricks. It pairs well with tap-down effects, vigilance attackers that survive combat while clearing blockers, and cards that tap creatures as part of their game plan. It supports a tempo-oriented play pattern: force a creature to tap, then remove it at a discount. The main limitation is that at full cost it’s clunky, so it’s much better when your deck can consistently set up the discount.
