Consign to Dust destroys up to three artifacts or enchantments at instant speed — that's a one-card answer to an entire stax package. The strive cost makes it expensive to maximize, but even cast for two targets it routinely outperforms single-target removal.

Commander is where Consign to Dust earns its slot: artifact and enchantment hate is always live, strive scales with the mana you've built up, and instant speed means you hold up answers without telegraphing a tap-out. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's nearly unplayable — those formats move too fast for a three-mana floor removal spell when Prismatic Ending and Abrupt Decay exist. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander closely enough that the same logic applies, though the faster clock makes the full strive cost harder to hit.
