It also has the miracle keyword, which means that it only costs a single white mana to cast if you draw it as the first card on your turn and can give you a great tempo advantage. It costs more than a lot of other options, but the extra cost is negligible considering it removes indestructible creatures and denies graveyard plays. Terminus is one of the best options for white when it comes to board wipes. It costs only four mana to destroy every creature and, even though the regeneration keyword isn’t around these days, it prevents creatures from regenerating if you’re playing a format where that’s still a thing. Wrath of GodĪs the original mass removal, Wrath of God is still relevant years later and pretty strong. What you lose in efficiency, you gain in tremendous optionality. You get to choose two of these options, so you can manipulate the board to your advantage.
It has four options: destroy all artifacts, destroy all enchantments, destroy all creatures with a CMC of 3 or less, or destroy all creatures with a CMC of 4 or more. Austere CommandĪustere Command also has a somewhat high cost, but it can respond to a lot of different situations. Cycling can help if you don’t need it right away and it’s perfect for planeswalker or sorcery- and instant-heavy decks because it won’t affect your stuff. Akroma’s VengeanceĪkroma's Vengeance is another high-cost board wipe, but it nukes all artifacts, creatures, and enchantments. Keep in mind that “destroy” effects are useless against anything with “indestructible” or regeneration, for that matter. It costs six mana which isn’t bad considering its effect, but you won’t be able to use it if you get rushed early before setting up for its expensive cost. It destroys everything on the board be it enchantments, artifacts, planeswalkers, or creatures. Starting with a simple sorcery, Planar Cleansing is a pretty straightforward white board white. That said, some board wipes are much better and used more frequently than others in competitive settings (surprised?). You’ll definitely be able to find one that’s suitable for your deck.
They all mean the same thing.Īlmost all colors have board wipes, although white is far, far ahead. WotC likes to call them “board sweepers,” so don’t get confused if you hear all these different names. Some players call them “wrath” effects after Wrath of God, the very first Magic card to feature a mass removal effect. Some of them target creatures, artifacts, enchantments, and sometimes even lands! Of course, that doesn’t always mean that they destroy everything. It’s actually pretty easy to explain board wipes: they wipe the board clean. Ruinous Ultimatum | Illustration by Chase Stone
