Ray of Ruin
Oracle Text
Exile target creature, Vehicle, or nonbasic land. Scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Ray of Ruin is a clean, pragmatic black answer that fits best in control and midrange shells, where trading one-for-one while smoothing draws is exactly what you want. At five mana, it is not a tempo play, but it punishes the kind of permanents that often slip through removal suites: resilient creatures, Vehicles, and especially nonbasic lands that can anchor greedy mana bases or utility-heavy boards. In Limited, it can reset a board state by exiling a key threat outright, and the scry 1 helps you keep pace by digging toward your next answer or finisher. Deckbuilding-wise, it pairs well with cards that reward long games or graveyard-light strategies, since exile cleanly bypasses death triggers and recursion. In Ixalan-themed environments, it also neatly answers flashy artifacts and lands, making it a strong sideboard-style inclusion when you expect expensive, value-oriented threats.
