Stabbing Pain⁣ - Magic 2011⁣ (Common)⁣ [118]

Stabbing Pain is an instant that gives a target creature -1/-1 until the end of the turn and taps it, making it less of a threat for that combat phase. This card is useful for dealing with blockers or weakening attackers, particularly in black control decks that aim to manipulate the board state. However, its effect is only temporary, so timing is crucial to maximise its impact.
