Oracle Text
Elspeth's Smite deals 3 damage to target attacking or blocking creature. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Elspeth’s Smite is a clean, efficient white removal spell that fits best in tempo and control decks, where trading one mana for an attacking or blocking creature can swing the battlefield hard. In March of the Machine, the name evokes Elspeth’s role as a precise, defiant force against the invasion, and the card mirrors that identity by punishing overextensions while denying death triggers or graveyard recursion through exile. The fact that it only targets attacking or blocking creatures makes it less universal than premium removal, but in combat-heavy formats it often functions like a hard answer with upside. It pairs especially well with decks that want to keep shields up and protect a low life total, and it becomes even stronger alongside cards that encourage favorable blocks or force attacks. In Limited, it is premium interaction; in Constructed, it rewards white decks that want efficient, instant-speed protection and clean tempo trades.
