Reality Fracture Spoilers Include Multiple Future Staple Board Wipes

Realty Fracture spoilers have nearly come to a close and we’ve been treated to a flurry of board wipes at rare and mythic worth keeping an eye on. As befits a set based on a blue mage, it seems very controlling—I expect these five board wipes to see play in Commander going forward.

Ajani Unrelenting

Ajani Unyielding is perfect for tokens decks since its board wipe ignores your tokens. This is a mark behind Hour of Revelation or Perplexing Test since many creatures survive 4 damage, but I don’t mind that in the context of a planeswalker with other great token support abilities.

Kindred Judgment

A colorshifted Kindred Dominance will see play. Even Raise the Pallisade, which only bounces creatures, reached staple status. This isn’t the first white typal board wipe, but redundancy often serves Commander decks well since the second version makes decks more consistent.

If you’re unfamiliar with typal sweepers, they’re good because they serve the dual purpose of slowing your opponents down and providing a win condition. Board wipes always impede your opponents by removing their creatures (and other permanent types, occasionally) and typically do the same to you. But when the board wipe doesn’t destroy your creatures, your opponents have no blockers nor pressure to punish you for attacking.

Overwrite the Multiverse

You'll almost never cast Overwrite the Multiverse to remove fewer than 3 creatures, so this board wipe cantrips. But you can expect more than three. Getting nine counters only requires each opponent controlling three creatures, which probably happens around the time you can cast this. While empower Jace draws cards slowly, you have time; after all, you just nuked the board.

Exile-based board wipes are fantastic for their permanence. It’s pretty much impossible for an exiled creature to come back, with niche exceptions like Eternal Scourge and the God-Eternals from War of the Spark. It also gets around common protection spells that grant indestructible, so your opponents can’t rebuild and will struggle to defend against Overwrite the Multiverse.

Rise of the Deathbringer

Rise of the Deathbringer reimagines Throne of Eldraine’s Return of the Wildspeaker as a black card. It has the least impressive sweeper of the bunch as a -3/-3 but, like Ajani Unrelenting, makes up for it in flexibility.

The -3/-3 falls off later in the game as a sweeper because your opponents will have bigger creatures. But playing it turn 4, maybe even turn 3 after ramping, destabilizes boards relying on mana dorks and similar set-up pieces. By the time the sweeper’s fallen off, the card draw mode becomes effective because you really don’t want to cast it until it’s late in the game and you have some battlecruisers.

The Echoverse Fulcrum

The Echoverse Fulcrum isn’t the first colorless board wipe but it does lots of things I like. Like curving out well when paired with Whir of Invention: Turn 4 you can Whir this into play, then activate it next turn to minimize your opponents’ ability to respond to the board wipe setting in play.

Since it has a decent enters ability, you can run it with flicker effects. It’s not as good as the raw card draw from Ichor Wellspring variants, but a decent Displacer Kitten target that scales is appealing. Ultimately, this is a very fairly costed board wipe, but being fair doesn’t mean a card won’t see play.
