10 Most Powerful Card Effects In Magic The Gathering

Throughout the years there have been board wipes released in the masses, though simple destruction cards don’t get rid of indestructible creatures. So, we got around those things with the exile mechanic which not only guarantees getting things off the board but stops any sort of resurrection mechanics.

There have been a few mass exiles over the years, notably Merciless Eviction which lets you choose the type of card you exile. However, Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh has an ultimate ability which allows him to exile all nonland permanents and, what’s more, only does this to your opponents.

Sick of that enormous creature? Gone. Tired of the artifacts giving your opponent too much mana? Bye-bye. As well as planeswalkers, enchantments, tokens – everything on the board gets removed from the game, leaving your opponents with only their land while you still have your entire board. Unfortunately it can’t get rid of emblems gained by planeswalkers, but what does it matter when all of your foes’ other defences have just been obliterated?
