About Clear the Stage

Clear the Stage, Instant, designed by Lucas Graciano first released in Jan, 2019 in the set Ravnica Allegiance. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.54.

Clear the Stage would be beneficial in a black-based midrange or control deck that focuses on controlling the board and utilizing creatures with power 4 or greater. While it provides removal with the -3/-3 effect, the potential to recur a creature from the graveyard adds value and card advantage. However, there are arguably better cards for similar effects, such as Murderous Rider, which offers more versatility with its ability to also act as a creature. Clear the Stage could see play in specific decks looking to leverage its graveyard recursion ability, but its overall impact may be limited compared to other options in the format.

Rules

01/25/19

You can’t cast Clear the Stage without a target creature to get -3/-3. If either target is illegal when Clear the Stage tries to resolve, the other is still affected as appropriate.

01/25/19

You check whether you control a creature with power 4 or greater after the target creature gets -3/-3 but before it dies, if appropriate.
