Settle the Wreckage2WW

Exile all attacking creatures target player controls. That player may search his or her library for that many basic land cards and put those on the battlefield tapped, then shuffle his or her library.
This can't possibly be happening right? MASS Path to Exile? Isn't this hideously OP? I mean, if it's real it's going straight into my O-Kagachi vengeance deck but man... Angel of the Dire Hour is usually already a blowout, yes I'll have one at over 40% discount...

I'm sorry, I evaluated this for commander. I've played commander exclusively for 10+ years now, I sometimes forget there are other ways to play
However, for commander this is really the nuts.
No. This isn't 'the nuts' in commander. It is in fact quite a bad card, in any format. I would rather play Aetherspouts for one more mana in commander. I would also rather play any of the legal 4 mana mass removal spells that are unconditional. Finally, if you are using this on your own creatures, you're trading creatures for lands. That sucks, unless you set up with a secure the wastes or something like that, which is a lot of work. This card is just not playable. Not even in mono-white.

Also, the card isn't bad. Exiling all attacking creatures is extremely powerful for only 2WW, even if they get basics out of the deal. And, you can flash it back with Torrential Gearhulk, and after so many of these being cast, they're either going to run out of creatures, run out of lands in their deck, or, at the very least, be way more cautious about attacking.
Yeah, that's my first reaction. An emergency kill switch for your opponent, a ramp engine for yourself. You can get something back with cards like Retreat to Emeria.
At 4cmc though, it seems to be hard to play in Standard (I wouldn't know, I avoid Standard) and too expensive to play in any other format without cheating it into play. I can see some interesting interactions such in an EDH Akroan Horse deck though.
It is trivial to hit 4 mana in Standard--this spell will definitely be in use despite giving its victim some free land drops. Would *you* be willing to exile your opponent's attackers, free land drops notwithstanding, in order to set up a lethal attack on your next turn? If the answer to that question is "yes" then this card isn't all that bad. If I am playing an Approach deck then I definitely want to get rid of opponent creatures by any means necessary.

You speak absolute truth.
In edh, there is no point where i run this as a board wipe over any other wrath because allowing anyone, even a bad player, to put that many lands into play puts them miles ahead of everyone else at the table
If im using it on my guys, it means i had a fair number of guys, meaning i just traded my boardstate and a card in hand for the potential to do something on my next turn, which i most likely wont see now as its obvious whats going on
So yep, this card sucks anus in ccommander
What would settle the wreckage even mean? Wreckage will settle by itself to the bottom. wreckage is also no longer threatening; it's like saying Crush the Rubble. You can settle a score, or a wager, meaning to make things even, but I don't see how that applies. Perhaps trying to sink a ship already wrecked upon rocks, to get it out of the way; I'm not sure how that relates to exiling attacking creatures.

This only gets rid of their attacking creatures. Unless they have vigilance, those creatures weren't going to be able to block your lethal attack anyway. If surviving an attack so you can counterattack for the win was your goal, whether the creatures that attacked you were exiled or just remain tapped really makes no difference (again barring Vigilance). Which is to say... Haze of Pollen could have done that.
I don't disagree with that assessment. That means only that this card, like almost every card in existence, has situational value--sometimes it is perfect and other times it is a dead card in hand.
Do not forget that most decks in modern do not play that many basic lands to begin with. Not sure the exile clause will replace 4cmc wipes such as Wrath of God, given the drawback, though.

Truer words were never spoken.
Affinity comes to mind for sure, but there are a lot of cheaper answers to artifacts in white (Stony Silence, Kataki, etc).
Still, against decks like elves, the mass exile clause is really appealing since a Verdict is often easily circumvented with Ezuri, and not all decks main or side Wrath of God to deal with regenerators.
There's a pretty narrow band in Commander land where this is better than Wing Shards and also better than Comeuppance. It wrecks colorless decks or high-money decks, but usually using this on 3 or more creatures will kill you anyways since that's a huge land boost. I think it's a cute Sunforger target, but I'm not sure I'd consider it a must-run.

This is definitely worth the testing because of it's INSTANT speed nature. Torrential gearhulk can flash it back and in modern most decks play what 5 basics? I think this is better and as a control player i'm really excited to test it.

Because it is in the spoilers now. MTGS is my only magic source besides the mothership.

I sea what you did there.
But how come you diden't show a link nor a picture of the card we could have gotten a cleaned up version of the picture.
Read my other stories as well (some ongoing):
Reaper King (a horror story), Kaalia of the Vast (an origin story), Sequels for Innistrad (Alternative sequels for Inn), Grey Areas (Odric's fanfic), Royal Succession (goblins),The Tracker's Message (eldrazi on Innistrad) and Ugin and his Eye (the end of OGW).
But no this is not legit at all. it has to be your own creatures for the Ramp.
So use token creatures for that trick and you may not even have that many.

You're better off just using Harvest Season
