FIRE CONTROL

This ability will be activated when attacking with the creature and will give us as much red mana, until the end of the fight, equal to the number indicated in the mechanic.

When this ability is activated, you can return any permanent on your battlefield to exile, and if you pay two colorless permanents, summon them again.
