Nightmare's Thirst⁣ - Core 2019⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [111]

Nightmare's Thirst is a one-mana instant from Core Set 2019 that allows you to gain 1 life while giving target creature -X/-X until the end of turn, with X equal to the life gained this turn. This card can serve as both a life-gain trigger and a removal option, making it effective in black decks that focus on lifelink or other life-gain strategies. However, its effectiveness is limited to the amount of life gained in a single turn, so it works best when combined with additional life gain sources. Available from Vault of Cards, a UK-based Magic: The Gathering store with fast delivery.
