Fated Retribution card art
Fated Retribution clears the entire board of creatures, planeswalkers, and enchantments — a scope no other seven-mana wipe matches. The cost is real: seven mana at instant speed demands a dedicated ramp package, and it will never be the first board wipe you reach for.

In Commander, Fated Retribution occupies a narrow but real slot: the catch-all panic button for boards that have spiraled beyond what conventional wipes can handle, since destroying creatures, planeswalkers, and enchantments in one action addresses multiple threat types simultaneously. The scry 2 stapled to instant speed is a genuine upside in long games, smoothing your next draw after a reset. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer, seven mana is a non-starter — formats that end on turns four through six have no room for a wipe this expensive regardless of its breadth. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander 60-card format where it could see play, since the singleton planeswalker focus makes the anti-planeswalker clause occasionally backfire, so run it there only if your meta demands it.

Price Context

Current price

$0.29 bulk tier

At $0.29, Fated Retribution is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in trade or cheap single. The price reflects honest demand: it sees niche Commander play and nothing elsewhere, so don't expect it to appreciate.
