Instant1 generic manaGreen mana

Fight effects have always carried a structural liability: both creatures deal damage, so your attacker eats a swing back and can trade down against a bigger body or die to a smaller one carrying deathtouch. This resolves that tension by making the exchange one-directional. Your creature deals its power to theirs; theirs deals nothing back. That single omission turns a symmetric brawl into a clean removal spell at instant speed, letting you point a large creature at a blocker or an untapped threat without exposing it to a return hit. The trample clause is the payoff that rewards decks already built around oversized green bodies: instead of wasting the surplus, damage past the target's toughness carries to that creature's controller, converting a removal spell into a reach spell in a single cast. That folds two jobs green usually splits between separate cards, and it does the work at instant speed, so the same card that answers a blocker before combat can also close out a life total when a green deck has no other way to finish. The price is the one written into every fight variant: it needs a creature already on the board and pointed at something, so it does nothing from an empty side. What it asks for is a green deck that was going to deploy a fatty anyway, and in exchange it hands that creature both a removal button and a burn spell.

Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control. If the creature you control has trample, excess damage is dealt to that creature's controller instead.
