Character Background

Desynchronization reads like a thematic reset button: an instant-speed removal that returns every nonland permanent that isn’t historic to its owner’s hand, making it a powerful tempo/control tool rather than a pure mass-removal — you strip opponents of creatures, enchantments and nonlegendary planeswalkers while leaving artifacts, legendaries and Sagas intact. That symmetry demands a clear game plan: design your deck as a historic-safe fortress (artifact and legendary win‑conditions, resilient Sagas) and run Desynchronization as the answer to go-wide aggro or board-dependent combos. Specific synergy: pair it with artifact-heavy or legendary planeswalker packages (Panharmonicon and a suite of legendaries survive the bounce), and include cheap recursion or low-cost replays so you can recover any non-historic pieces you knowingly lose; play permission and tempo elements to capitalize on the opponent’s delayed recasts. Play it as an emergency tempo swing in blue control shells or in Historic-centered builds that want a one-shot global reset without nuking your own backbone.
