Borrowed Malevolence (EMN 82) is a black instant from the Eldritch Moon set featuring the Escalate mechanic. Its modes let you give a creature +1/+1 until end of turn and/or give a creature -1/-1 until end of turn, paying additional escalate costs to choose both. The card supports flexible plays as either combat trick or removal/tempo by buffing your own creature or weakening an opponent’s.
