Fling

The 'Fling' / 'Throw' effect: expend a creature and redirect its power as a burst of damage, typically to any target or a player. A common closer in aristocrats, big-green, and Voltron shells — attack, then fling the survivor's power at the opponent's face for lethal. The defining shape is sacrifice-plus-power-as-damage (Fling, Thud, Brion Stoutarm). Distinct from removal.burn (fixed/X damage, no creature spent), from removal.fight_removal / 'bite' (power-based damage aimed at a creature, no sacrifice), and from generic sacrifice.sacrifice_outlet payoffs like Goblin Bombardment that deal a fixed amount rather than the sacrificed creature's power.
