Annihilating Glare kills any creature or planeswalker at instant speed for a single black mana — as long as you control a creature to sacrifice. The cost is real, but in sacrifice-matters decks, feeding the altar is the point.

In Commander, Annihilating Glare occupies the budget slot in sacrifice decks that want redundant one-mana removal — it trades a token or a recurable body to answer a Thrun, the Last Troll or a planeswalker that would otherwise be untouchable. In Pauper it competes in black sacrifice shells where the creature cost is offset by synergy payoffs, though better removal exists at the same mana value. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern have enough efficient unconditional removal that Annihilating Glare doesn't make the cut outside of highly specific combo-sacrifice builds. Oathbreaker shares the Commander logic: if your signature spell or commander wants fodder on the board, this does real work.

Price Context
Current price
$0.29 bulk tier
At $0.29, Annihilating Glare sits firmly in bulk territory — easy to pick up as a four-of or to slot into any sacrifice build without a second thought. Bulk one-mana removal rarely spikes unless a format-defining deck adopts it, so expect the price to stay flat.
