About Cataclysm

Cataclysm, Sorcery, designed by Jim Nelson first released in Jun, 1998 in the set Exodus and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.32.

A deck that benefits from Cataclysm in Magic: the Gathering would be a white-based control or prison deck looking to reset the board and disrupt the opponent's strategy. While Cataclysm can be powerful in certain situations, there are other cards like Armageddon or Ravages of War that offer similar effects with potentially less downside. Whether Cataclysm should see play depends on the specific strategy and meta of the deck, as it can be a high-risk, high-reward card that requires careful timing and planning to maximize its impact.

Rules

02/01/14

Each permanent not chosen by a player will be sacrificed. If a permanent has none of the listed types (for example, a Planeswalker with no other types), it can’t be chosen.

10/04/04

If you control a permanent with more than one type, you can choose that same permanent for more than one of the choices if you want to. This makes it possible to select an artifact creature as both your artifact and creature, and then select a land and thereby keep only two cards.

10/04/04

The permanents to save are chosen on resolution. You do not choose them when casting the spell.
