Incendiary Sabotage trades an artifact you control for 4 damage to each creature and each planeswalker — a board wipe stapled to a sacrifice outlet for three mana. The cost is real: you lose a permanent, and the effect skips players entirely, so it only clears the board, not the game.

Incendiary Sabotage is a Commander card through and through — formats like Modern and Legacy move too fast for a three-mana sorcery that requires a sacrifice and leaves life totals untouched. In Commander, the math flips: sweeping creatures and planeswalkers across three opponents for three mana is efficient, and decks that want to sacrifice artifacts anyway treat the cost as a bonus rather than a tax. Outside Commander, the card is legal in Pioneer, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no play in those formats where one-for-one efficiency defines the card pool.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Incendiary Sabotage is deep bulk — pick it up in any common box without a second thought. Bulk mythics occasionally spike on demand, but this one fills a narrow niche and has no scarcity story, so expect it to stay at the floor.
