Immolating Glare destroys any attacking creature for two mana — instant speed, unconditional within that lane, no targeting restriction beyond the attack requirement. The catch is real: if nothing is swinging at you, it's a dead card in hand.

In Commander, Immolating Glare fills the cheap white removal slot in decks that expect to be attacked regularly — pillowfort shells, life-gain decks, and control builds that sit back and let opponents come to them. The attack restriction is less punishing in four-player pods where someone is almost always swinging. In Modern and Pioneer, cheaper and more flexible options like Path to Exile and Fatal Push have largely pushed it out; the attack condition is a serious liability in those formats where the game plan often doesn't involve being attacked. Legacy and Vintage have even more efficient answers available, so Immolating Glare sees essentially no play there.
