Ego Erasure wipes all abilities from every creature on the board until end of turn — a one-sided reset button when you're the one swinging with vanilla bodies. Jackal, Genius Geneticist is the obvious home, stripping opponents' blockers of deathtouch, hexproof, and indestructible in one shot at instant speed.

Commander is the only format where Ego Erasure earns a slot, and only in decks that can exploit the symmetry — your creatures need to not care about losing abilities while opponents' creatures care deeply. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern all have better interaction at lower cost, and the effect rarely lines up with what those formats are doing. Ego Erasure is a niche role-player, not a staple.
