Gift a tapped Fish (You may promise an opponent a gift as you cast this spell. If you do, they create a tapped 1/1 blue Fish creature token before its other effects.)
Exile target nontoken creature. If the gift wasn't promised, return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it at the beginning of the next end step.
Mox strategy
Parting Gust is a versatile removal instant best used for temporarily dealing with problematic non-token creatures. Its strength lies in flexibility: you can exile a creature outright or promise a "gift" to create a tapped Fish token for your opponent, making it a strategic choice for board stalls or disruption. It synergizes well with decks aiming to control tempo or protect creatures from removal since exiled creatures return with a +1/+1 counter if no gift is given. Best in white control or tempo decks enabling repeated use or delayed threat management. Key mechanic: temporary exile with optional drawback mitigation, enabling board state control and potential growth of threats after exile ends.
