Bitter Triumph (SOA)

Instant

As an additional cost to cast this spell, discard a card or pay 3 life. Destroy target creature or planeswalker.

Reliable removal for black midrange and control decks. Bitter Triumph hits both creatures and planeswalkers at instant speed for just two mana, making it efficient enough to slot into most black strategies. The additional cost is flexible—discard synergizes naturally in graveyard-focused decks while the life payment offers a clean out in others. Sees play across Pioneer, Modern, and Commander where instant-speed answers are essential.
