and now it's barely played

Ive heard some grumblings from the optimized Commander deck crowd that eight mana is way too expensive to consider this as a Commander in 2023, but as someone whos got a Piru, the Volatile deck and a deck built around The Tarrasque, I dont subscribe to that philosophy

This is a much weaker card than Murderous Cut, but its still one of the top tier removal spells in the format

You get two choices - One is to have the caster choose and take control of one of your permanents
