Bite Down

Fight effects have always been green's answer to the color's inability to kill things directly: point your big creature at their small one, deal damage, take damage back. This design cuts the return trip. Instead of a mutual exchange, only your creature deals its damage, which turns a symmetrical brawl into clean, one-sided removal. That single edit changes what the effect can safely target. A traditional fight spell punishes you for aiming at anything with meaningful power, so a Prey Upon forces you to weigh the trade; here the defending creature never swings back, and the instant-speed window lets you shoot at end of turn, ambush an attacker before damage, or blow out a combat math the opponent thought they had solved. The other quiet upgrade is the reach: most green removal of this shape stops at creatures, but this one extends to planeswalkers, letting a large body chip or delete a walker without committing to an attack. What pays for all of it is the requirement that you already control a creature worth pointing, and one whose power is high enough to matter. The spell does nothing on an empty board and little behind a small one, which keeps it honest as a payoff for green's creature-first game plan rather than generic interaction.
