Wave of Reckoning
Oracle Text
Each creature deals damage to itself equal to its power.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Wave of Reckoning is a classic white reset button that rewards careful board construction more than brute force. In Magic: The Gathering, this sorcery fits best in control or midrange shells that can survive the sweep while turning opposing boards into their own downfall. Because each creature damages itself equal to its power, it especially punishes decks that go tall with a few large threats, and it can leave behind smaller utility creatures or token swarms with enough life to keep pressure on. It pairs well with strategies that boost toughness, like vigilant defenders, indestructible sources, or creatures that enter as high-toughness bodies, letting your board endure the reckoning better than the opponent’s. In Commander, it’s a smart inclusion when your deck can exploit asymmetric combat math, especially alongside damage prevention or “doesn’t take damage” effects. The name and effect evoke a disciplined magical judgment, making it feel like a spell that forces every creature to answer for its own strength.
