Abolish, uncommon (first printed in Prophecy, 2000)


Countless times have I wished to throw away one of those interminable Plains cards, for effect or otherwise. Abolish provides an outlet with which to dispose of that most useless of lands. Just my little joke. What Abolish does, that Disenchant often does not, is allow a player of resourcefulness to escape from the grasp of a Tangle Wire, Limited Resources, Stasis or Chalice of the Void, or such thing. You'll find that people in relaxed casual environments never consider cards like this, instead preferring their Indrik Stomphowlers and Orim's Thunders and similar bloated spells. Find a way to put the squeeze on those passive planeswalkers and they'll start to replace such turkeys with spells that can be cast before the rapture. Can be acquired for less than twenty pence a copy.
