Extinguish All Hope clears every non-enchantment creature on the board for six mana — a one-sided wrath in any deck that goes wide with enchantment creatures or animates enchantments. The cost is real: six mana is slow, and it blanks entirely against opponents who also build around enchantments, but Anikthea, Hand of Erebos turns that caveat into a selling point.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Anikthea, Hand of Erebos
Anikthea, Hand of Erebos turns her graveyard into enchantment creatures, so Extinguish All Hope reliably reads 'destroy all opponents' creatures' while leaving her board intact — it's as close to a one-sided wrath as this card gets.
Zur, Eternal Schemer
Zur, Eternal Schemer animates enchantments into creatures with deathtouch, lifelink, or hexproof, meaning Extinguish All Hope sweeps the table and leaves Zur's enchantment-creatures standing.
Daxos the Returned
Daxos the Returned generates Spirit enchantment creature tokens, so Extinguish All Hope is a board wipe that actively protects his primary win condition rather than resetting it.
Go-Shintai of Life's Origin
Go-Shintai of Life's Origin fills the board with Shrine enchantment creatures, giving Extinguish All Hope a built-in asymmetry that punishes creature-based strategies without touching the Shrine engine.
Victor, Valgavoth's Seneschal
Victor, Valgavoth's Seneschal cares about non-token creatures dying, and Extinguish All Hope can trigger that clause across every opponent's board in a single spell.

Extinguish All Hope is a Commander card through and through — the six-mana cost is acceptable in a 40-life multiplayer format where clearing three opponents' boards in one shot is the correct exchange. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's unplayable at that cost; Wrath of God and Damnation do the same job for four mana without the enchantment clause mattering in those formats. Oathbreaker shares enough of Commander's pacing that it can slot in, but only in dedicated enchantment-creature shells. Anywhere outside a 100-card singleton format with enchantment synergies, it's the wrong six mana.

Price Context
Current price
$0.25 bulk tier
At $0.25, Extinguish All Hope is bulk — it costs almost nothing to pick up and slots directly into any enchantment-creature deck without a second thought on price. Bulk rares at this synergy level tend to stay cheap, so there's no urgency, but no reason to wait either.
