Character Background
Crisis of Conscience is a six‑mana white sorcery that reads like a surgical boardwipe: pick off all tokens when facing swarm strategies, or nuke every nonland, nontoken permanent to reset a clogged mid‑to‑late game — so it best supports control and midrange decks that want a reliable, flexible reset. The token mode is excellent as sideboard tech against go wide token lists, while the non‑token mode doubles as a planeswalker + artifact + creature answer when you need total parity. Because it doesn’t exile, plan to protect or recur your own key pieces: include cheap flicker/ephemeral effects (Ephemerate-style) or a Teferi’s Protection–style safeguard so your win conditions survive the sweep, or build around recursion and sacrifice outlets to rebuild afterward. Deckbuilding tip: don’t jam token‑makers unless you’re always prepared to choose the non‑token option, and consider maindecking 1–2 copies in slower white control shells where a one‑time full reset can buy you the game.
