It serves the same cheap black removal role, though it is conditional.Giant Growthutility$0.19A classic one-mana combat trick in the same speed and cost bracket, but in green and on the opposite side of the stat change. It is the closest functional analogue for a pump/removal-combat trick spell.Bite Downremoval$0.22Instant-speed creature interaction that can remove a blocker or attacker, though it costs more and uses a different stat-based combat model.
