Interjection

Interjection — Instant W: Target creature gets +2/+2 and gains first strike until end of turn. Primary strengths and best use cases - Cheap, instant-speed combat trick that turns bad trades into wins and enables surprise lethal damage. - Excellent for protecting a key attacker or blocker from dying, or for finishing off an opponent when damage is close. - Works in aggressive white decks and in Limited as a clean, efficient pump. Specific synergies or combinations that make it stronger - Heroic targets (e.g., creatures that trigger when targeted by spells) — gives extra value beyond the pump. - Pair with creatures that have deathtouch or infect: first strike + +2/+2 converts one hit into a full removal. - Combines well with equipment/auras or double-strike creatures to amplify damage; works with evasive creatures (flying/menace) to push through damage. - Good in decks that run cheap creatures and combat tricks (Boros or mono-white aggressive builds). Key gameplay mechanics it enables or supports - Instant combat trick: surprise blockers, force bad blocks, save creatures. - Targeting triggers (heroic/prowess-like effects) — can be used as a value spell, not just pump. - Tempo tool: one mana swing that can change combat parity or close out the game.
