Razor Rings (TLA)

Instant

Razor Rings deals 4 damage to target attacking or blocking creature. You gain life equal to the excess damage dealt this way.

Flexible removal and lifegain for white midrange and control decks. Razor Rings punches above its weight in formats with smaller creatures—it cleanly answers early threats while gaining life as a bonus. The instant speed and potential lifegain make it a reasonable sideboard option in Pioneer and Modern, though it's outclassed by more efficient answers like Swords to Plowshares in formats where they're legal. Best as a budget alternative or in decks that specifically value the life gain component.
