Streets of New Capenna Removal List
This is a list of all the removal in Streets of New Capenna, 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).
Notes
-
Scheming Fence is listed as both creature and artifact/enchantment removal since it can turn off activated abilities of any nonland permanent.
- Public Enemy is not listed as creature removal even though it can force your opponent's creatures to attack because there are a number of ways your opponent can avoid its effect (by killing it prior to combat, using a creature's tap ability, etc.)
- Arc Spitter is not listed as creature removal because it requires your opponent to block the equipped creature with the creature you want to kill.
- Pugnacious Pugilist, Maestros Diabolist, and Ob Nixilis, the Adversary are not listed as creature removal because a lot of things have to happen in order to do one point of damage to an opponent's creature.
- Lord Xander, the Collector is not listed as artifact/enchantment removal even though it can result in your opponent sacrificing one of them because creatures are the primary type of nonland permanent in Limited, so it is very unlikely to remove a problematic artifact or enchantment.
- Ob Nixilis, the Adversary is not listed as off-battlefield removal since the opponent can pay two life instead of discarding a card.
- Mage's Attendant is not listed under off-battlefield removal since it just requires your opponent to pay one additional mana, and so it seems unlikely to counter many spells in Limited.
- I'm not listing Planeswalker removal since there are only three Planeswalkers in the set, all at Mythic, so it will rarely come up in Limited.
