Hidetsugu's Second Rite (FDN)

Instant

If target player has exactly 10 life, Hidetsugu's Second Rite deals 10 damage to that player.

Niche combo finisher for red decks built around life total manipulation. Hidetsugu's Second Rite demands precise setup—your opponent must be at exactly 10 life for the effect to trigger—which limits its utility to dedicated strategies pairing it with cards like Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos or other life-total-specific payoffs. Outside those narrow shells, it's a dead card in hand, making it too situational for most constructed formats.
