Character Background

Time Wipe is a five‑mana sorcery (2WWU) that reads like a time‑rewind: you tuck one of your creatures safely back into your hand, then destroy every creature on the battlefield. In practice it best supports a control/tempo/value game plan — clearing opposing boards while preserving or enabling a repeatable threat. The obvious deckbuilding angle is to populate your list with strong enter‑the‑battlefield creatures and low‑cost threats you can recast for advantage (Mulldrifter, Stoneforge Mystic, or Snapcaster Mage style targets), or include recursion engines like Sun Titan to rebuild after the sweep. Pairing Time Wipe with Panharmonicon or cheap flash creatures gives additional ETB payoff, and running a hand‑refill or cost‑reduction package makes recasting your saved creature less punishing. Be mindful that destroy effects don’t stop indestructible or exile‑resistant strategies, so include targeted removal or exile sweeps for those matchups. Used correctly, Time Wipe is a reset button that turns symmetrical destruction into asymmetric card‑advantage.
