Destructive Revelry destroys an artifact or enchantment and deals 2 damage to its controller — two effects stapled onto one two-mana instant, which is a genuine rate advantage over most Naturalize variants. Klothys, God of Destiny builds that run this card want every incidental ping they can find, and the damage rider here is free.

Klothys, God of Destiny
Klothys, God of Destiny is a damage-accumulation engine, and Destructive Revelry slots in as removal that doubles as a damage source — every point of incidental life loss matters when your game plan is grinding opponents to zero through attrition.

In Commander, Destructive Revelry earns its slot over Naturalize in any Gruul shell that cares about life totals or incremental damage — the 2-damage rider is irrelevant to a 40-life format until it suddenly isn't. In Modern and Legacy, it competes with Wear // Tear, Force of Vigor, and Boseiju, Who Endures, which limits its competitive ceiling, but it remains a clean and efficient sideboard option in creature-heavy Gruul lists that can't reliably pitch to Force of Vigor. Pioneer is its most comfortable non-Commander home, where the artifact and enchantment removal options are narrower and the 2 damage trades better against aggressive mirrors.

Price Context
Current price
$0.29 bulk tier
At $0.29, Destructive Revelry is bulk — you're paying for the cardboard, not the effect. That price is stable; this is a widely-printed two-mana instant with no scarcity story, and it will stay in the bulk bin indefinitely.
