So, my brother is really good at making decks you can do nothing to fight. I need cards that either exile or remove nontarget and nonland. The reason being, he combines darksteel forge with enchantments or artifacts that make him hexproof. I already have merciless eviction and chaos bane or whatever that black: sacrifice half your permanents is called. But the problem is, I need more. I can't rely on two cards to take him out when his deck pratically plays itself. I'm open to suggestions.
TLDR; Need AOE removal that does not have keywords "Destroy" or "Target". Or, just single "target" removal cards without the targetting part. Such as, "Player removes one card from their board." or something like that.
To help you find the cards use the o: option on Scryfall and don't combine the words. For example, try doing this search
o:artifact o:upkeep -o:target -o:destroy not:unset
That query will fetch a manageable result of 35 cards or so and manually looking through, you'll see about 7 or 8 of interest.
For the first o:, you can try words like permanent, nonland, opponent etc. for the other o: try words like exile, return, sacrifice. The rest of the stuff excludes unwanted words.
You're right. I misread that as functioning like Cataclysm.
Then you got more than a few choices.
Ancient Runes
Energy Flux
Molder Slug
World Queller

You're just playing
Just a few ideas.....
Tax the opponent (and sometimes yourself) with Braids, Cabal Minion or Kataki, War's Wage
Exile stuff with Consulate Crackdown, Play the Game or Urza's Ruinous Blast. Be careful with that last one.
