Drown in Sorrow

The -2/-2 sweeper occupies a precise band of black's removal toolkit: too small to be a true board wipe, too clean to ignore. Where a damage-based sweep cares about toughness alone and a destroy effect ignores size entirely, a symmetric -2/-2 prunes a specific slice of the curve, the one- and two-toughness creatures that aggressive decks live on, while leaving anything that survived a body's worth weaker for the rest of the turn. That makes it a tempo answer as much as a board reset: a deck can clear the early pressure and then attack into the wreckage with whatever it kept back. The scry is not insurance against a dead draw (it does not replace the card you spent, so casting this into an empty board is still card disadvantage); it is a smoothing rider that pays off when you cast the spell for value, letting a sweep that wrecks the opponent's board also set up your next draw rather than leaving you flat-footed afterward. The toughness ceiling is the honest cost. Anything with three or more toughness shrugs it off, so this is a tool calibrated for small-creature matchups, not a catch-all. Built into a deck that expects to face the bottom of the curve, it does its work with unusual precision for the rate, and the scry means a clean sweep also leaves you pointed toward the next turn.
