Child of Alara
Oracle Text
Trample
When Child of Alara dies, destroy all nonland permanents. They can't be regenerated.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Child of Alara is a five-color control and value bomb that turns its own demise into a full-board reset, making it ideal for decks that can survive long enough to weaponize the wipe. A 6/6 with trample, it threatens real combat damage, but the real power is the death trigger: when it dies, every nonland permanent is destroyed, and regeneration offers no escape. That means you want to control when it leaves play, not merely cast it and hope. Sacrifice outlets like High Market, Greater Good, or Ashnod’s Altar let you cash it in on demand, while recursion from Command the Dreadhorde-style effects, reanimation, or commander tax plans can let you loop the reset. It especially shines in slower five-color shells that can rebuild faster than opponents, turning the battlefield into a recurring tabula rasa while you keep the best lands and planeswalkers out of the blast zone.
