Heartless Act (TLA)

Instant

Choose one — • Destroy target creature with no counters on it. • Remove up to three counters from target creature.

Solid removal spell for black midrange and control decks. Heartless Act punches above its weight at two mana, cleanly answering early threats while offering flexibility against larger creatures through its counter-removal mode. The instant speed and low cost make it a reliable answer in Pioneer and Modern, though it trades some versatility for efficiency compared to unconditional removal like Fatal Push or Unholy Heat.
