Grotesque Mutation⁣ - Battlebond⁣ (Common)⁣ [145]

Grotesque Mutation grants a target creature a +3/+1 boost and lifelink until the end of turn, allowing it to deal extra damage while also gaining you life. This instant can swing combat in your favour, especially in aggressive or midrange decks that want to sustain pressure while gaining life. However, it requires a target creature, so it’s less effective in decks that rely on flying or hexproof creatures without combat involvement.
