Magma Verdict
Molten Collapse sits cleanly in red black removal suites where precision matters. Molten Collapse gives you a flexible answer to threats by letting you pick a creature or planeswalker to destroy or a tiny permanent with mana value 1 or less. The extra clause that lets you choose both if you descended this turn rewards graveyard interaction and tight sequencing during midgame skirmishes.
Use Molten Collapse to clear the way for a finisher or to stop a troublesome planeswalker from ticking up. The card name and framing tie into Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore where underground fires reshape the battlefield. Practical, efficient and conditional, Molten Collapse is a sensible inclusion when you want a narrow removal spell that can scale with your graveyard plays.
