Cryoclasm

In Commander, Cryoclasm is a meta call — if your table runs heavy white and blue, the land destruction has real teeth, but four-player games dilute the targeting enough that a pure burn spell rarely earns a slot. In Legacy and Vintage, it exists as sideboard technology against Island and Plains-heavy control and tempo decks, though dedicated hate like Blood Moon typically does more work. Modern sees the same story: playable against the right opponent, but too conditional to main-deck when cheaper and broader removal exists. Cryoclasm is strictly a hate piece, and it only earns inclusion when you know exactly what you're hating.
