Lore

Why it matters

Contest of Claws is a sorcery from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander set that highlights the theme of dinosaur-centric combat within the game's mechanics. Its artwork, illustrated by Cristi Balanescu, captures the aggressive nature of Ixalan's prehistoric inhabitants, making it a functional and thematic choice for players focusing on power-based removal.

What it does

Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to another target creature. If excess damage was dealt this way, discover X, where X is that excess damage. (Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with that mana value or less. Cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)
