All of History, All at Once puts every non-land permanent on top of libraries for one mana — a pseudo-board wipe that dodges "destroy" and "exile" clauses and resets the entire table's board state in a single activation. The Tenth Doctor // Rose Tyler runs it at a 73% rate because the suspend mechanic turns what would be a tempo loss for everyone else into a free card-draw engine for Doctor decks.

Commanders with the highest synergy
The Tenth Doctor // Rose Tyler
The Tenth Doctor // Rose Tyler demands All of History, All at Once because suspending permanents is the exact fuel the Doctor's "removed from the game" triggers need — opponents bounce their own boards while you're drawing cards off every suspended permanent that came from your side.
Jhoira of the Ghitu
Jhoira of the Ghitu suspends spells for two colorless mana, and All of History, All at Once lets her do the same to every permanent on the board — opponents spend turns waiting to replay their commanders while Jhoira's suspended threats land on schedule.
Gandalf of the Secret Fire
Gandalf of the Secret Fire cares about instant and sorcery spells, and All of History, All at Once at one mana is exactly the kind of cheap, high-impact instant that lets Gandalf dig for more gas while stripping the board of every threatening permanent.
Alaundo the Seer
Alaundo the Seer untaps for each suspended card that enters the stack, so All of History, All at Once seeding the suspend zone with opponents' permanents creates extra untap triggers while those permanents sit uselessly in limbo rather than threatening the table.

All of History, All at Once is a Commander card through and through — the one-mana cost and table-wide reset scale directly with the number of players, and the suspend punishment is at its most devastating when three opponents are all forced to recast their commanders and key pieces. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but essentially unplayable; those formats run too lean and fast for a symmetrical reset that doesn't immediately end the game, and suspend means your own board is also gone for multiple turns. Oathbreaker gives it a smaller table to work with, which weakens the symmetry angle but makes it a clean answer to a single opponent's threatening board if you're ahead on tempo.

Price Context
Current price
$0.29 bulk tier
At $0.29, All of History, All at Once is deep bulk — a single-format staple that sees heavy play in The Tenth Doctor // Rose Tyler decks but hasn't broken out beyond that niche enough to push the price up. Pick up copies freely; there's no reason to expect a spike unless a new suspend-matters commander drives demand.
