Wildfire Howl

The Gift keyword turns a symmetrical sweeper into a negotiation, and this is the cleanest expression of that trade. Base mode is a two-damage board wipe, the kind of small sweeper that clears tokens and one-toughness aggressive starts. Promise the gift, and it becomes something stranger: the opponent draws a card, and in exchange you get to point one damage anywhere in addition to the sweep. The design tension is entirely in whose turn benefits more. That extra card is real value handed across the table, but the added point of reach can finish a creature the sweep leaves at one toughness, or go to the face to close a race, or clear a planeswalker's last loyalty. The caster decides which cost to pay based on the board, and the math changes every time. What makes Gift interesting as a mechanic is that it front-loads the opponent's payoff (they draw before the spell's other effects), so you are always paying in known information for a flexible upside. On a sweeper that upside is modest, which is the point: a two-damage wrath is cheap enough that the extra damage rarely warrants surrendering a card, so the promised mode is a scalpel you reach for in the specific spots where one more point wins the game outright. Everywhere else, you cast it plain and let the symmetry do the work.
