10 Most Powerful Card Effects In Magic The Gathering

While in the realm of getting rid of everything, we have mass sacrifice abilities. Like I mentioned earlier, indestructible permanents can be difficult to get rid of. So, if you don’t have cards which allow you to exile things, sacrificing is the way to go. Sacrificing is mandatory and unless the card with the initial effect is countered in some way, your opponent is saying goodbye to their card.

There are a vast array of sacrifice cards in the game, including ones which persist, forcing your opponents to sacrifice cards every turn – Sheoldred I’m looking at you – but the effect we’re looking at is a mass sacrifice which can cause opponents to lose everything.

I’m thinking specifically of Liliana, Dreadhorde General whose ultimate ability forces each opponent to choose one card of each permanent type and sacrifice the rest. This includes lands, making it stronger than every other board wipe as, while they keep up to a creature, a planeswalker, an enchantment, an artifact, and a land on the field, their limited mana base means they can’t pull back into the game unless their chosen survivors happen to be incredibly good.
