Austere Command (Commander: The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Split Judgement for the Field

Austere Command is a precise board sweeper for white decks that asks you to pick the contours of the reset. The card forces a decision between destroying artifacts, destroying enchantments, clearing small bodies, or clearing large bodies. Choosing two gives control players flexibility to answer whatever threats matter most without overcommitting resources to redundancy.

In practical play it reads like a customizable wrath in a format where artifact and enchantment strategies are common. Use it to reset a stalled board, preserve your pivotal permanents, or pair it with mana sinks and recursion to rebuild faster. The card fits well in decks that value options and timing, especially when you plan around graveyard interaction or protected permanents.
