Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Chaos Orb is one of Magic’s most infamous pieces of artifact design, a relic whose chaotic physicality perfectly mirrors its effect: a single, dramatic act of destruction that can wipe away nearly everything it touches. In gameplay terms, it most naturally fits a control or prison shell, where you can slow the game, protect your own board, and engineer a devastating reset that leaves the opponent far behind. Because it destroys nontoken permanents it contacts, careful play matters more than raw mana efficiency; the Orb rewards table awareness, clear space, and board states where your own key permanents are already expendable or protected. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair it with effects that leave you ahead after a sweep, such as indestructible threats, token production, or recursion for artifacts so you can recover faster than the opponent. It is less a tempo card than a high-risk control tool, turning precision and nerve into an asymmetric answer.
