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's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 1.49.
A deck that focuses on controlling the board by having a variety of permanent types would benefit from using Cataclysm in Magic: the Gathering. This card is particularly effective in decks that can quickly rebuild after sacrificing most of their permanents, such as white weenie or enchantment-based strategies. While Cataclysm can be a powerful board wipe, it may not always be the best option depending on the specific deck and strategy. Other cards like Armageddon or Balance may offer similar effects with different restrictions, so it's worth considering the overall game plan before including Cataclysm in a deck.
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.
