Summary Dismissal is a blue instant from Commander: Modern Horizons 3 that serves as a practical reset on the stack. With a mana cost of {2}{U}{U}, you exile all other spells and counter all abilities, effectively nullifying the current stack and any on the battlefield triggers that would resolve. The effect is immediate and clean, giving you the chance to reestablish control on your terms. The flavor text captures the moment well, with the line “Let's start fresh, shall we?”.
In practice, this instant shines when the stack threatens to spiral; it wipes the slate and counters ongoing abilities, allowing you to pivot into your game plan. Use it to blunt heavy combo turns or to reset after a big swing, especially in multiplayer where multiple players may contribute to the stack. Timing matters though; you must have mana ready and be prepared to follow up with threats or counter pressure.
