Well now there is a card that needed a modern border printing. Glad to see it make an appearance in this set, as it's a sweet card all-around. Not sure I would first pick it though in draft, but would always play it if I was B/R.
What formats has this seen play in? What archetypes?
It was used in standard in Ponza, Machine Head, and other B/R archetypes during Invasion standard, as a way to maintain control of the board. Equipment did not exist at the time, but white and green weenie decks were popular with protections, so this one was a selective board wipe.

It saw a fair bit of play when it was in Standard a million years ago. It sees super, super fringe play in Modern. Legacy and Vintage I don't know about.
When Invasion was released, there was a tier 1 deck that used Void and Blazing Specter, but one set later we got Terminate and Flametongue Kavu and Void wasn't efficient enough anymore
I don't remember it being played in Time Spiral at all
I have fond, fond memories of this card, as I started playing in the middle of Masques block. Still love playing it in commander, because no one EVER expects it or plays around it, and when it hits, it can be a total blowout. I've nuked an opponent's entire board and hand at once before, it's a very good feeling.
Can't be upset. There's no way to fill the entirety of the set with value and to expect such is unrealistic. However, opening Void is still miles better than much of what was in both Modern Masters.

It sees rare play in Commander, and that's about it.
Nice to have an art for it that isn't a giant robot, not that I don't love giant robots.
RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
I said the exact thing but at least it looks cool

I mean, I'd be kind of mad if I pulled it from an EMA booster, but sixteen years ago? I loved it.
