Infinite Obliteration strips a named nonland card from an opponent's hand, graveyard, and library — permanently removing it from the game for three mana at sorcery speed. It's a surgical answer to combo pieces and problem commanders that no other black spell matches at this price point.

Commander is where Infinite Obliteration earns its keep: naming a combo piece before it resolves, or a reanimation target before the graveyard loop starts, can strand an entire deck's game plan. In competitive EDH especially, exiling a key tutor target out of the library is a legitimate disruption angle. Outside Commander, it sees essentially no play — Modern, Legacy, and Pioneer have faster, more flexible hand disruption options that don't cost three mana at sorcery speed, and the library-strip clause is largely irrelevant in those singleton-free formats.

Price Context
Current price
$0.21 bulk tier
At $0.21, Infinite Obliteration sits firmly in bulk territory — easy to pick up without any budget consideration. Demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to move absent a spike in competitive Commander interest in proactive library disruption.
