Selective Obliteration
Selective Obliteration is a white sorcery built for Commander games where color can determine who stays and who goes. On casting, each player chooses a color. Then exile each permanent unless it’s colorless or it’s the color its controller chose. In practice this loosens the field to a single color narrative, letting you steer the post encounter board state without targeting any opponent directly.
In Modern Horizons 3 it fits a measured, strategic approach to table politics typical of multiplayer Magic. The artwork shows a cold, ominous scene as figures stand amid frost and stone, underscoring the spell’s theme of selective purging. Use this spell to reset moments of heavy board presence and set up the next chapter of your color plan while keeping the table aware of the consequences of color choice.
