Edge of Eternities Removal List


This is a list of all the removal in Edge of Eternities, divided into permanent creature removal, temporary creature removal (such as bounce, tap, and falter effects), non-creature removal, and off-battlefield removal (hand, stack, and graveyard).

  • Lightstall Inquisitor is not listed as removal because opponents will often be able to pay an additional mana in Limited games.
  • Cryogen Relic is not listed under temporary removal because it does not tap the creature, just adds a stun counter to it.
  • Blade of the Swarm is listed as off-battlefield removal because it allows you to remove a creature exiled with the Warp ability.
  • The list does not include the Special Guests cards since they only occur in one out of every 56 packs. It does include cards from the Stellar Sights bonus sheet since those occur in one out of every eight packs.

White, Black, and Red have three playable permanent creature removal spells each at Common:

Meanwhile, Blue only has Cryoshatter at Common, and Green has Diplomatic Relations and Shattered Wings.

Edge of Eternities has several cards that return permanents from your graveyard to your hand or to the battlefield:

While these are all Uncommon or Rare, there are enough of them that removal that exiles creatures should be valued even more highly than usual. Auras such as Cryoshatter that disable creatures without killing them may also be quite good in the format, although if your opponent has Exosuit Savior or Specimen Freighter, they can rescue the enchanted creature without expending a card.

There's also more mass removal than in most sets. Apart from Lithobraking at Uncommon, the rest are all Rares, but there are more of them than in many sets: Extinguisher Battleship, Beyond the Quiet, Pinnacle Starcage, Zero Point Ballad, Terminal Velocity, Mutinous Massacre, and Singularity Rupture. The set has 60 Rares and 100 Uncommons, so an eight-person draft will have an average of 3.5 mass removal spells. (The expected number of Blast Zones from the Stellar Sights bonus sheet in an eight-person draft is just 0.003, and the chance of anyone in a draft opening a Special Guests card is even smaller.)
