Sunder from Within destroys any artifact or enchantment on the board — no targeting restrictions, no condition — for two mana if you control a creature with power 4 or greater. That threshold is trivially easy to meet in most midrange and stompy shells, making this a clean two-mana unconditional answer to Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe, or any other problem permanent.

Commander is where Sunder from Within belongs — artifact and enchantment hate is mandatory in a format where Rhystic Study and Parallel Lives define games, and two mana is the right price for it. The power-4 rider is nearly irrelevant in any green or Gruul shell, and even in non-green decks a single large creature clears the bar. In Legacy and Vintage it competes against Abrupt Decay, Prismatic Ending, and Force of Vigor, which are either more flexible or faster, so it rarely earns a slot there. Modern has similarly crowded two-mana removal options that don't require a creature in play. Commander is the correct home.

Price Context
Current price
$0.21 bulk tier
At $0.21, Sunder from Within sits firmly in bulk territory — pick it up in any order that's already hitting a minimum. Bulk removal with clean functionality tends to hold its floor rather than crater further, so there's no timing consideration here: just buy it.
