Sure Strike

Core Set 2021 (M21) #163 · Common · Instant

Mana cost: {1}{R}

Target creature gets +3/+0 and gains first strike until end of turn. (It deals combat damage before creatures without first strike.)

To survive imminent doom, it sometimes takes a foolhardy soul who acts first and fears later.
