Nahiri's Wrath deals damage equal to the total mana cost of discarded cards to any number of targets — stack the discard right and it clears a board or kills a table in one shot. The cost is real card disadvantage, which means it belongs in decks that profit from the discard, not just tolerate it.

In Commander, Nahiri's Wrath earns its slot exclusively in discard-synergy shells — Rielle builds, Filterstifle piles, anything that turns discarded cards into resources rather than losses. The ceiling is enormous: pitch a Blightsteel Colossus and a couple of six-drops and you're dealing 20+ damage split however you like. In Modern and Pioneer it's a fringe build-around that never broke through — the setup cost is too steep against efficient threats that pressure your hand before you can pay off. Legacy and Vintage have enough raw power density that the card has seen zero meaningful play. For constructed formats outside Commander, treat it as a casual build-around rather than a competitive option.
