Suncleanser enters and immediately strips all counters off a target creature or player — energy, experience, loyalty counters on a planeswalker, poison, all of it gone for two mana. The clean pairing with Luminous Broodmoth turns that enters-the-battlefield trigger into a repeatable counter-wipe every time Suncleanser loops through death and return.

Commander is where Suncleanser earns its slot, hitting the experience-counter commanders like Meren of Clan Nel Toth and Atraxa, Praetors' Voice hard enough to functionally reset their game plan. In competitive pods it doubles as poison hate against infect strategies. Modern and Pioneer have it legal but almost no reason to run it — the effect is too narrow and too slow to main-deck in those formats, and dedicated sideboard slots usually go to more versatile hate pieces. Legacy and Vintage have even less interest; Suncleanser's ceiling there is fringe sideboard technology at best.
