![]() ![]() It destroys all creatures that aren’t of a chosen type, which makes it perfect for tribal decks. Kindred Dominance is the counterpart of Extinction. But you’ll need to watch out if the number of creatures destroyed is bigger than your life total. If you’re looking for one-sided board wipes while running a mono-black deck, Hellfire is an excellent card. But you have to invest more mana into it if you plan to kill something more significant. Forced Marchįorced March might be expensive or cheap depending on the situation since you can theoretically kill every token without a mana cost for just three mana. ExtinctionĮxtinction is like Endemic Plague but better because you don’t have to sacrifice any creatures to destroy the creature type you want. I see Endemic Plague as a narrow sideboard card, or possibly a main deck one in dedicated steal and sacrifice decks that struggle against tribal strategies. ![]() Like Dread Cacodemon, its ability only happens if you cast it from your hand. Reiver Demon is another board wipe with legs. The only downside I see with this is that it’s hard to cast and you can’t cheat it onto the battlefield with a reanimation spell. Dread Cacodemonīoard wipes in the form of permanents are hard to find, but Dread Cacodemon is one of them. Do or Dieĭo or Die may not be the best board wipe ever created, but it’s still okay at two mana. Force of Despairįorce of Despair is a card that you’ll only be able to get the most of during your opponent’s turns because it’s not likely that creatures enter on their side of the battlefield during your turns. It’s still unique in killing non- artifact creatures and can work in artifact creature decks. Phyrexian Scriptures is an okay board wipe because your opponents will see it coming and can find ways to deal with it. Hythonia the Cruelġ4 mana is a lot to commit to for a board wipe, but Hythonia the Cruel is an excellent consideration if you plan to spread this cost over multiple turns. Psychotic Haze‘s big appeal is that you can fire it at any time at instant speed, and you can continuously cycle it for another card if it’s irrelevant during your game. It may not be much, but it can make combats tricky. I like Noxious Field because it’s a hard-to-deal-with way to assure a fixed amount of damage per turn. The damage resolves after that, but I can see some good interactions happening if you pair it with the likes of Fiery Temper. ![]() I say “some” because Sickening Dreams isn’t necessarily good if you aim to cast your creatures with it since they resolve first. This weird card can potentially go well in some madness-themed decks. If you want to deal with small creatures and have a cheap efficient way to deal with them, especially if they’re tokens, Dry Spell is an all right way to do so. Nowadays it seems a bit expensive for five mana, but Dakmor Plague and Famine are still solid options that are worth mentioning. I imagine that dealing three damage to each creature was a big deal back in the day. Destroying all humans is also lovely! #68. Zombie Apocalypse isn’t the most effective board wipe, but it synergizes perfectly in zombie tribal decks. I mention sacrifice outlets so you can manipulate how much damage you deal per turn with this. It requires some sort of sacrifice outlet to trigger it properly, and you always want to have a creature to stay alive. ![]() Black has multiple ways to do this and while the most popular effects are “destroy” based, some others deal damage or just give -X/-X to all creatures. Nature’s Ruin + Perish + Virtue’s Ruinīlack board wipes are spells that are usually instants or sorceries that clear the board of creatures and other permanents. ![]()
