Oblivion Stone is a reliable anchor in multiplayer Commander games. It offers a practical two step plan that scales with the board state. For {4} and tapping, you put a fate counter on target permanent, shaping outcomes by incrementally devaluing threats or advancing your own plan. For {5} and tapping, you sacrifice the Stone to destroy each nonland permanent without a fate counter on it, then remove all fate counters from all permanents.
Oblivion Stone: Stabilize the Board
Flavor wise, Oblivion Stone evokes an ancient vault where counters mark the passage of danger. In a long game it provides a controlled reset that preserves your key engines while thinning the table's clutter. Timing and careful resource management unlock its full potential when the moment to wipe arrives.
