Chain Reaction
Oracle Text
Chain Reaction deals X damage to each creature, where X is the number of creatures on the battlefield.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Chain Reaction is a classic red sweeper that rewards timing and a little bit of battlefield arithmetic, making it especially strong in control or midrange decks that want to reset the table while preserving their own engine. At four mana, it can range from a clean answer to a modest board to a devastating blowout in creature-heavy games, and in Commander it often scales into a full wrath when opponents flood the field. Because it hits every creature equally, it pairs well with token or sacrifice strategies that can rebuild faster than the table, and it’s especially nasty when your deck plays few creatures or uses damage-immune threats. A strong deckbuilding tip is to include asymmetrical support like indestructible creatures, planeswalkers, or death-trigger value so you come out ahead after the wipe. In Baldur’s Gate Commander pods, where boards can snowball quickly, Chain Reaction is a reliable tempo swing that can buy the turns you need to close.
