Balance
Oracle Text
Each player chooses a number of lands they control equal to the number of lands controlled by the player who controls the fewest, then sacrifices the rest. Players discard cards and sacrifice creatures the same way.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Balance is a classic white reset button that rewards careful planning and punishes greedy board states. In gameplay terms, it best supports control and prison-style strategies, especially shells that can empty their hand quickly or preserve resources better than the opponent. Because each player must match the lowest land count, then discard and sacrifice creatures in the same way, you can break the symmetry by floating mana before casting it, using mana rocks, token makers, or a nearly empty hand to come out ahead. It pairs well with effects that let you keep playing after the wipe, such as artifact acceleration, planeswalkers, or recursive threats that survive mass discard. The card’s lore feel is one of stark equalization: no army, hoard, or battlefield excess is allowed to stand. In Commander or vintage-style environments, build around breaking parity rather than surviving it.
