War of the Spark Removal List

This is a list of all the removal in War of the Spark, 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).

There are a number of cards that could be considered removal but that I chose to leave out since there's so much other removal in this set. Many of the ones left out are planeswalkers with a static ability that nullifies some subset of your opponent's cards or makes them more difficult to cast.

Specific card notes:

• Price of Betrayal is not listed under creature removal since it can only kill Zombie Armies and Ugin's Conjurant (although it's also quite good against Devouring Hellion and Bioessence Hydra). It's not listed as artifact removal because it's pretty much useless in that role in this set.
• Ravnica at War is not listed under enchantment removal because the only multi-colored enchantment in the set is Oath of Kaya at rare.
• Liliana's Triumph is not listed under off-battlefield removal because the only the Liliana planeswalker in the set is at mythic.
• Dovin, Hand of Control's activated ability is a little like tapping a creature (although not quite as good), but I didn't list it under temporary creature removal. It can also neutralize planeswalker abilities that cause damage, but I also didn't list it under temporary planeswalker removal since that could be confusing.
• Narset, Parter of Veils is not listed under off-battlefield removal even though it largely neutralizes your opponent's card draw spells.
• Sarkhan the Masterless is not listed because your opponent gets to choose whether to attack, knowing how much damage their creature is going to take
• Tomik, Distinguished Advokist is not listed under off-battlefield removal because it is so specific.
• I decided to leave out the cards that make your opponent's spells cost more.
