Vanquish the Horde: Wide Sweep
Vanquish the Horde is a board clearing tool that reads clean and scales with the table. The sorcery from Commander Tarkir Dragonstorm asks for a heavy investment up front yet reduces that cost as creature density rises. In play this card trades a predictable sweep for a potential one turn knockout when the battlefield is crowded; the printed text shows the cost reduction and the final effect without ambiguity, so sequencing and timing matter.
Use Vanquish the Horde to reset stalled games or to survive a wide token strategy. The effect pairs naturally with sacrifice engines and mass reanimation lines where you can drop creatures after you resolve the spell or benefit from the reduced cost by encouraging opponents to overcommit. Practical advice from experience: plan your mana and triggers around the spell so the cost reduction is reliable when you need it most.
