Take Down

Color-pie maintenance, stripped to a single mana. Green has never been allowed to deal with creatures on the ground, but flyers are the one type it gets to shoot down, the ancient compromise that lets a forest's worth of giant spiders and reaching archers answer the things they cannot block. What this card does is fold both of green's anti-flying modes into one modal choice: the focused four-damage shot that kills almost any individual evasive threat, or the symmetrical sweep that scrubs a board of small flyers without touching the rest of the table. The sweep is what makes the design honest, because the one-damage-to-each clause is deliberately undersized: it punishes the wide, cheap evasion strategies (tokens, one-toughness flyers) while leaving anything substantial standing, so it functions as a hoser rather than a removal spell. Paying a single green for either option means the card is priced as a reactive tax on opposing air superiority, not a flexible piece of interaction; it does nothing against a ground stall, which is precisely the point. This is the line green has been told to hold since the earliest design philosophy, written here as efficiently as the constraint allows.
