Today, we’re taking a look at a card called Strafe, an uncommon Sorcery from Planeshift. It costs R (one Red mana) to cast and deals 3 damage to target non-red creature. At the time, it was a pretty useful piece of removal. It features some great classic Magic the Gathering art from Jim Nelson, who has also drawn art for the white/black pain land Caves of Koilos, the original Time Spiral art for Ancient Grudge, and the nifty little artifact Aether Spellbomb from Mirrodin block. It also features flavor text from Gerrard Capashen: “All right, let’s light ‘em up!”
You won’t see this card played in Constructed now-a-days, but it was a solid design for a one-drop removal spell. There’s not much else to say about it.
