Farewell is easily an S tier board wipe. The fact of having the choice of any number of the 4 options is what pushes it there

I personally really like In Garruk's Wake. It's one-sided but still feels fair in low power levels because of the high mana cost, and money-wise it's affordable with my very limited disposable income.

And I gotta disagree. Meathook Massacre is amazing. It's an average at best boardwipe, but it's an enchantment. You can play it and not kill anything and it will still do a lot.

I really missed Hour of Revelation. A 3 mana destroy all boardwipe seems very good.

I think Verdict is underrated by you guys because, yes any spell can be countered. But specifically in EDH, board wipes are pretty much the premier target for counterspells, especially for the player in the lead. A board wipe being uncounterable comes up a lot more often because more players would want those kinds of cards countered.

As an Avacyn player I love how basically every set adds a white boardwipe

Toxic Deluge, Cyclonic Rift, Blasphemous Act, those will always be the top 3 in Commander

Cleansing nova’s niche is now creature-heavy decks with green and white that don’t rely on many artifacts/enchantments. I’ve got it in my Kyler deck right now and I think that’s it. I’ve probably chosen the second mode half the time there.

Living Death, Evacuation, and Great Aurora were a few notable cards missing from this that Id be curious on your rankings. Notably because I play Great Aurora in my lands deck because of a video where you guys talked about it. Also I know you guys loooove living death and so do I, it always overperforms whenever I cast it

I feel like by invitation only is one of those underrated board wipes because of the way it's interpreted. When you cast the card most people try to use that time on the stack to sacrifice their field to help their boardstate afterwards. But that means you don't even need to boardwipe anymore cause your opponents did it for you! Then you can sit back and relax, and watch the table get salty as you choose zero and keep your board.

I have a fondness for Necromantic Selection. It’s very expensive but you can save your best creature (or your opponent’s best creature) and use it to get a head start on rebuilding. Saving a commander that costs four mana (which would actually cost six if it gets CZd) suddenly makes the res effect really useful.

As someone returning to MTG after 25 years... this list made me so happy... I love board wipes.

I love resolving Ezuri's Predation while Vigor is out.

So, I was watching your Tier list of EDH staples like an hour ago, and I left a comment saying, "we need more tier lists", and my wish was your command. Thank you for reading my future mind when you recorded this segment 🙌 🙏

I play All is Dust in my Eldrazi deck. But outside of that I would have a hard time finding a home for it.

Planar collapse has been a sleeper hit for me. So good with enchantment synergies, makes your opponents plays really awkward if you can get it down early enough so it doesn't trigger, love it

You left, "Last One Standing" off the list. 3 mana board wipe with a slight down side.

Meathook is fine because you can tune its power down if you want to keep your stuff alive at that moment or just kill specific things like weak token spam, and even without the wipe for just two mana you are getting an enchantment that functions similarly to other two mana aristocrat pieces like Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat. Still a solid card for the mana cost if you don't care how expensive it is. I think of it less as a boardwipe centric card and more of an aristocrat piece with optional boardwipe capacity when needed or wanted. Plan to get one for my Beledros deck, it would just add to the fun (and because he can turn its power up in a pinch, so it goes well with him).

Guys, Winds of Abandon I'm telling you! Solid B card, and you didn't even rate it? Way better than Merciless Eviction.

No love for Descend Upon the Sinful? Exile-board wipe and get a (chunky) body after if you have delirium.

A little surprised that the list wasn't broken down more. Cards like Duneblast, Doomsday, Blood on the Snow, Hour of Revelation, In Garruk's Wake, etc. I mean you included Fumigate.

A note on Chandra’s ignition, it’s got crazy synergy with lifelink, deathtouch, curiosity effects, aegar the freezing flame, etc…

Meathook's price makes me sad. I'm really hoping that after it rotates out the price crashes so I can finally run it in my budget Teysa deck.

Too low on All is Dust, IMO. That's an instant game winner for colorless decks.

Uhmmm. You guys missed some of my favorite wipes. Blood on the Snow, Doomskar, Masacre Girl, Terminus, Jokulhaups, Martial Coup, Kaya’s Wrath, Bontu’s Last Reckoning, Flood of Tears, Black Sun’s Zenith, Life’s Finale, Nevinyrral’s Disk, Oblivion Stone, Mutilate. So so many enough for a whole other video :)

Farewell is A+ to me- exile gets around indestructible and also has graveyard hate. Super friends? Choose all modes. Enchantments - All modes but enchantments. Creature deck and taxes got you down- choose all modes except creature. Have won with this card a dozen times already

Blasphemous act is my favorite board wipe of all time, but I might be biased because I play Ill-Tempered Loner. Wasiest way to make a board wipe into a win-con, and a great deterrent to others at the table.

"How often does the can't be countered text matter?" If I had a nickel for every time I board wiped as a saving throw and it got countered I would be Jeff Bezos rich. But that might just be my playgroup a-holes

All is dust is great in helping out mono colored decks as well. To deal with stuff they normally cant deal with.

I just don’t understand no one talks about hour of revelation I have had it in a deck for 3 years I have never cast it for 6 I have never had it in my hand when I could not cast it for 3 it’s literally always 3 white pips destroy all non-land permanents. Mono white and 2 color I would highly recommend it.

You guys are right about Tragic Arrogance. I've been running it since magic origins, and I think I might've seen two whole other games since then where someone else used it

beezy's "oh god" at 14:38 kills me

10 months later, just built my aristocrats deck with elas-il lot at the helm, and I can't find a the meathook massacre for under $60CAD and it's been banned in standard for almost as long as this video was made. It's such a good card for my deck but I don't want to pay that much for it when it shouldn't be that much. I also run about 6 board wipes as ways to close the game off my death triggers when I don't have sacrifice outlets.

Hour of Revelation almost always gets cast for 3 mana and pulls a lot of weight, and I never see it get mentioned. I've cast it turn 4 to cripple my opponents setup and I've cast it turn 10 to save my butt, it always performs

Hey, I love your channel - thanks for the awesome info! As an old 4th Edition / Ice Age player returning to the game to play with my son, it really helps to hear you two go back and forth on the relative value of the cards, the play strategies, build strategies, etc. Also the ‘nitpicking’ on every detail is purely entertaining. I have one suggestion that if you would consider doing it would make your channel a lot easier for us returning players to use. You make passing reference to a LOT of cards without showing them on screen, which means I need a second device always in hand to look up the cards you’re talking about. It’s funny because in this video, you actually took the time to put most of the cards on screen (at least the ones you were reviewing at that second), but throughout the video you took the cards down before you were done talking about them, so I’m having to constantly stop the video and go back a few second and pause to read (or re-read) the fine details of the card wording that you are commenting on. Would love to see you guys keep doing what you’re dining but anytime you refer to a card or a specific magic term, keep those details on screen!! Again, love what you’re doing!!

Joe is 100% correct about Farewell being miles beyond better than Austere Command. I mean it's not even close. Besides the Exile, what makes it better is it does everything Austere Command can do, except better. Command only hits up to 2 things while Farewell hits up to 4 types and its your choice in combination what to get rid of at the time. You could hit 1 thing or 3 things, or 4 things. The versatility is way beyond better than Command.

I appreciate to see Farewell in A tier. it's exceptional.

I really wish you guys mentioned Winds of Abandon, I feel like it is criminally underrated

Beezy- “something’s gotta be poop” had me rolling

I would like an hour long Amber supercut.

I use Winds of Abandon, even though it's not that great. Essentially the fact that it exiles everything that's not yours, presumably you use it when you know you can win that turn.

TERMINUS is my personal favorite in Aminatou, Miracle make it so good at one mana to get rid of everything.

I just noticed that this is the most agreeable both of y’all have been to each other, haha. I enjoyed the concessions and compromises :)

My favorite boardwipes are the ones you cast from the command zone. child of alara and nevinyrral are crazy good especially with command beacon effects 😈

If Wrath of God is a B, Day of Judgement is too, because when's the last time you saw someone use Regenerate?

I'm waiting for the video of just the cut footage of amber jumping onto desk and walking in a circle. Talk about top tier content

I've done such a good job over the last 5 years of not being "that guy" when it comes to content videos. I cannot hold it in here... Farewell is slam dunk S tier wipe and comparing it to Austere Command (a card that I LOVE!) is INSANITY! Fun content and enjoyed the video though!

I put this tier list in poop tier for excluding half of existing board wipes in the game.

As a white player I missed "Winds of Abandon" here - the white version of cyclonic rift which is overseen very often. Not that strong because it's sorcery-speed and you might give a huge amount of resources to your opponents, but in white you should be able to win the game emediatly when you force an empty board. Love that card!

It's niche, but Urza's ruinous blast in sisay is quite fun

Two big ones you guys missed were sunfall and White Sun's Twilight. Both wipe the board, and then leave you with an advantage.

Joe: More versatility puts Damn at an A Also Joe: Less versatility puts Farewell at an A Kidding of course, but I agree with Beezy on this one. Farewell is not THAT much better than AC especially in white. Lots of decks in white care more about getting many little creatures right? I think in any deck like that I’d rather have AC. I think farewell is a great card, but I don’t agree that it is “head and shoulders” above AC unless your meta is heavy on graveyard recursion. Thank you for the tier list videos! I love the discussion that you guys have and seeing those discussions continue on the discord.

Damn surprised you didn’t talk about living death. Easy S tier.

I have just started watching, but i imagine mutilate being a B =Buildaround wich is the best qualifier for it, cause you need a heavy black or mono black to have it good, regardless im hyped cause i just ordered black cards for a mono black Syr Konrad Edh to tune up a little bit

Tier lists are my favorite of your videos.

In before Vanquish the Horde S tier! Edit: To answer Beezy on Farewell, the cards absolutely ridiculous. If you control the board its a tidal wave that just helps you win. Played a game with my pod with one of our members playing Coven Counters and they cast Farewell. Since they had the best board state by far in terms of big beefy creatures they wiped out all artifacts, enchantments and graveyards and just started throwing haymakers left and right and no one in the game could recover. Its a wipe that can easily become your win condition depending on how its played.

"The BOARD WIPES....of Cah-mander" Beezy bringing the Harrison Ford intensity, 10/10

Teferi's Protection is a boardwipe's best friend and Armageddon's spouse.

What do you guys think of winds of abandon? I think it could be S tier if it didnt ramp your opponents so hard. Still pretty good if you can win on the next turn or so. Or if your opponents only play a few basics. And did i miss toxic deluge? Pretty spicy in commander when you can easily pay a bunch of life , and then its a 3mana board wipe that cant be stopped by indestructible or protection from black.

I think tragic arrogance is low financially because it allows your opponents to keep some of their cards which allows them to rebuild faster

Today is my birthday! Thanks for the birthday wishes :)

Yesss!! Tier lists are always amazing!

You often stated that card “A” wasn’t quite as good as card “B” so you weren’t playing it. You also want at least 2, and probably 3, board wipes in all your decks, so there is room for all those other cards. Edit: Not really a Board Wipe but an awesome one sided effect is Whelming Wave in a Sea Creatures deck. Empty board for one turn and everything has to be recast. It’s been a sweeeet card for me.

I run Merciless Eviction because my playgroup loves to run consistent mass indestructible, making normal board wipes difficult sometimes. Looking at you, Sliver Queen deck

I play time wipe and my yorion deck and it’s GREAT there. I want a way to retrigger the ETB anyways so bouncing it to my hand, destroying everything, and eventually replaying it to flicker all of my artifacts and enchantments is awesome

Im pooping right now! Your analytics were right!

False prophet is a great creature based wipe. It doesn't fit in any of my white decks but i love how it dies and exiles creatures rather than destroy.

well now I have to see what you just released on my birthday

Nice work as always guys....and just in time for me to start brewing my Zangief deck full of wipes (and PWs)

Beezy loves that damn cat

In the same vein as Earthquake, Magmaquake is actually a pretty good boardwipe. It is instant speed, can be one sided if all your creatures fly and kills off planeswakers as a little bonus.

Toxic Deluge is easily one of my favorite cards in the game because it just feels so good to wipe the board for 3 mana. Blasphemous is obviously amazing and can cost less, but you can control deluge so much better. As someone who plays mainly vampires (mardu) and zombies (dimir), I also happen to be super partial to meathook massacre. In both of those decks, it just multiplies the damage the opponent is already gonna take. Yeah I'm losing 10 creatures, but with two of them being aristocrat drains and this, you're losing 30 life and I'm gaining 30. At least.

Meat hook massacre has only found a home in one of my decks: The Grismold deck that two nerds told me to build. (It's really fun to play, thank you guys) This video introduced some board wipes I didn't even know existed. I swear, every time I watch one of your videos I end up having to update my deck lists.

Thanks for the nice birthday wishes :)

This was a fun birthday video. Thanks guys 🤘

NEW NITPICKING NERDS VIDEO!

I feel like tragic arrogance is best in a meta where your opponent’s decks don’t have high card diversity. At least in my meta all my opponents only have one to two really powerful enchantments and artifacts in their decks. So when I cast this and I have to let them keep one still really good card.

My birthday was on that fantastic episode of scuffle shuffle.. but didn’t get a happy birthday

Where would you put hour of revelation?

Decree of Annihilation in Shrines is amazing.

Where would you put Winds of Abandon? I enjoy playing this card even though I think it's B tier.

This is a great tier guys keep these lists going they are great

The cat only wants to be apart of the show lol

Nobody uses blood in the snow but I love blood in the snow.

ezuris predation is sick, because its green, you can just ramp better and you need to build around it, like etb effects with creatures(garruks uprising e.g.), or giving tokens/creatures deathtouch and so on but in pure comparission its really expansive and "not that good" i play it in my aesi deck and it rocks. i love your tierlists really improved some decks of mine.

Hi there! I just saw your channel and have been binging all of your content, thank you for sharing all of this information. I am a huge fan! One of the videos, I just saw was the tier list of tribes. I am wondering if you could do a tier list within those tribes? Like for zombies who would you go with?

I feel like Ezuri's Predation may be a bit underrated. That card in conjunction with Golden Sunrise (all creatures gain +1/+1 & Trample) and anything with Proliferate (to put more counters on the creatures that received +1/+1 counters), could potentially be a solid late-game finisher with no real side effects towards the casting player AND massive exponential damage.

Massacre girl is fun, fair, you're left with a creature and you can bounce it.

Kind of surprised you guys mentioned Tragic Arrogance but not Cataclysm which is S tier for sure

Surprised to not see Child of Alara, as it’s a board wipe that can be in the CZ

Tragic Arrogance is a house is so many decks, love it. I'm still pretty high on Austere Command, especially if I'm playing tokens. Good list boys.

I will happily trade all my damns for an equal number of damnations.

Blasphemous Act is great in a Stuffy Doll deck too.

can we get a video someday doing a tier list of Nitpicking Nerds tier list videos?

Meathook is such a phenomenal card. So glad I bought that in the pre release times when it was cheap. Wish I would’ve got a second though haha. Additionally, expecting really good things from Farewell too.

For me, subjectively. Farewell is S and Cyclonic is poop =)

Totally off topic but was wondering if you ever thought about posting on the topic about how socially acceptable it is at the table to play with expensive cards. When you put down an expensive card like OG duals or a mana crypt is it flexing on a "rude" level. Does it cause the other players to resent another player?

Honorable mention to monstrous onslaught!

I personally love playing with Cataclysm. Its such a fun card and goes great in an Orzhov tergrid deck

Farewell is in my Atraxa Super Friends deck. It’s awesome.
