About Selective Obliteration
Selective Obliteration, Sorcery, designed by Yeong-Hao Han first released in June 2024 in the set Modern Horizons 3 Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 2.51.
This card, Selective Obliteration, would be beneficial in a control deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's strategy by removing key cards from their hand. While it can be effective in certain situations, there are potentially better options available such as Thoughtseize or Inquisition of Kozilek which provide more immediate and versatile hand disruption. Selective Obliteration may not see widespread play in competitive formats due to its high mana cost and limited impact compared to other options available.
Rules
06/07/2024
For example, say you control a colorless creature, a blue creature, a green creature, and a creature that's both blue and green. No matter what you choose, your colorless creature will not be exiled, and your creature that's both blue and green will be exiled. If you choose blue or green, the creature you control that is only that color will not be exiled. It doesn't matter what anyone else chooses.
06/07/2024
Lands have no mana cost, so they are colorless unless an effect states otherwise. The colors of mana that a land can produce do not affect that land's color.
06/07/2024
No matter what color any player chooses, all multicolored permanents will be exiled.
06/07/2024
Players decide and announce in turn order, starting with the active player, which color they are choosing. Players later in the turn order will know which colors were chosen by players before them.
06/07/2024
The colors chosen by players affect only whether or not permanents they control will be exiled. That choice does not affect whether particular permanents controlled by other players will be exiled.
