Mana CostSet
Character Background
Cleansing Nova is a classic control tool in Magic: The Gathering, and in Commander Masters it remains a clean answer to boards that have spiraled beyond normal combat math. For five mana, it offers a flexible sweep: either wipe all creatures to reset aggressive and value-heavy tables, or destroy all artifacts and enchantments to punish mana rocks, token engines, and pillow-fort setups. That modal choice makes it especially strong in control and midrange shells that want to survive long enough to win on inevitability rather than speed. It also pairs well with decks that can break parity, such as lists running planeswalkers, indestructible creatures, or artifact/enchantment recursion so you can clear opponents while preserving your own engine. In multiplayer, the card is at its best when you time it to stop two opponents from snowballing at once, turning a losing board into a stable position and buying the tempo needed to close the game.
