Breaker of Creation card art
Breaker of Creation hits every opponent's board at once — annihilator 4 on a 12/12 means each player sacrifices four permanents the moment it attacks, and that trigger stacks with every other annihilator source already in play. The cost is the whole problem: twelve mana with no built-in evasion means it does nothing until you can cheat or ramp into it, and Ultima, Origin of Oblivion is currently the cleanest shell for making that happen.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Ultima, Origin of Oblivion

Ultima, Origin of Oblivion

51.8% of decks · synergy 0.30

Ultima, Origin of Oblivion is the primary home for Breaker of Creation because Ultima's cost-reduction and eldrazi-tribal synergies let it land several turns ahead of schedule, and the stacked annihilator triggers compound fast enough to end games.

02
Zhulodok, Void Gorger

Zhulodok, Void Gorger

36.1% of decks · synergy 0.15

Zhulodok, Void Gorger's cascade-twice trigger fires twice off any colorless spell with mana value 7 or greater, so casting Breaker of Creation off the top chains into two free spells and immediately threatens an annihilator attack on the same turn.

03
Indominus Rex, Alpha

Indominus Rex, Alpha

11.5% of decks · synergy 0.11

Indominus Rex, Alpha prizes high-impact keyword creatures to splice onto itself, and Breaker of Creation's annihilator 4 is one of the most punishing keywords available — giving Indominus annihilator alongside trample or haste creates an attack that is nearly impossible to survive.

Breaker of Creation is a Commander card front to back — the multiplayer rules turn annihilator 4 into a three-player catastrophe on the same attack, and the political damage from a single swing can reshape the table even before combat damage resolves. In Legacy and Vintage it is legal but irrelevant; twelve mana is a universe away from what those formats are doing on turns one through three, and there is no honest argument for running it over faster threats. Oathbreaker can support it in the same way Commander does if the deck is built around ramp or cheat effects, but the smaller starting life total makes racing it harder for opponents, which is a marginal upside.

Price Context

Current price

$0.29 bulk tier

At $0.29, Breaker of Creation sits firmly in bulk territory — high power ceiling, low demand floor, because the twelve-mana ask keeps it out of most lists that aren't specifically built around eldrazi or cost reduction. Bulk rares with narrow homes rarely climb without a reprint-driven spike, so treat it as a cheap pickup for the right deck rather than a spec.
