Oubliette

Enchantment

When this enchantment enters, target creature phases out until this enchantment leaves the battlefield. Tap that creature as it phases in this way. (Auras and Equipment phase out with it. While permanents are phased out, they're treated as though they don't exist.)

Oubliette card art
Oubliette phases out a creature and all its attachments — removing it from combat, stripping its auras, and blanking its activated abilities — for three black mana at sorcery speed. That's a clean answer to anything from a Volcano Hellion threatening lethal to the goaded horde bearing down on Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant's controller.

Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant

Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant

29.6% of decks · synergy 0.29

Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant runs Oubliette in nearly 30% of decks because the goad engine creates punishing board states where one creature needs to simply disappear — phasing out removes it without triggering death effects, keeps it gone indefinitely, and strips any enchantments riding along for free.

02
Xanathar, Guild Kingpin

Xanathar, Guild Kingpin

12.0% of decks · synergy 0.11

Xanathar, Guild Kingpin wants opponents locked down while it picks through their libraries, and Oubliette is one of the cleanest ways to neutralize the single threat most likely to attack into the Xanathar player's open board.

Commander is where Oubliette earns its keep — three mana to phase out a commander and all its Equipment or Auras is premium interaction, and the phasing clause sidesteps indestructible and regeneration without sending the card to a zone where it triggers graveyard synergies. In Pauper, Oubliette is a legitimate removal staple at common, handling threats that black otherwise struggles to answer cleanly at the two-to-three-mana range. Legacy and Vintage have access to it but rarely bother — faster, less conditional removal crowds it out. Oubliette is illegal in Modern, Pioneer, and Standard, so its competitive ceiling is effectively Pauper and the eternal casual formats.

Price Context

Current price

$3.10 cheap tier

At $3.10, Oubliette sits in the cheap tier — low enough to slot into almost any black Commander deck without budget consideration. It's a unique enough effect with no functional reprint that the price is unlikely to crater, though calling it a stable hold is less the point than recognizing it's simply underpriced for what it does.
