Oracle Text
This spell costs {3} less to cast if it targets a tapped creature.
Destroy target creature.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Grounded for Life is a clean, efficient removal spell that leans hard into control and tempo strategies, especially in a set where tapping and combat manipulation likely matter. At full price, five mana for an instant-speed destroy effect is clunky, but the discount to {1}{W} when targeting a tapped creature makes it much more attractive as a punish card after combat, a tap effect, or any attack-step setup. It pairs well with cards that tap opposing creatures, like fighters, bounce-and-redeploy threats, or anything that forces attacks, because it can turn a defensive exchange into a huge mana swing. In Limited, this is exactly the kind of common white answer that lets you stabilize against larger threats without falling behind on board. In Constructed, it belongs in decks that can reliably create tapped targets and convert removal into tempo, making an opponent’s overextended attacker “grounded” for good.
