Devastation Tide

Miracle was always a tension between symmetry and surprise, and this is the card where that tension does the most violence. A full board bounce is a known quantity at five mana: slow, telegraphed, the kind of reset both players can see coming and play around. Strip three of those mana off with a topdeck and the symmetry stays intact while the timing collapses. The board doesn't break apart on your sorcery-speed main phase after a turn of posturing; it evaporates the instant you flip the card on your draw step, before either side has committed the resources they were holding back. The opponent who overextended into your empty board cannot un-overextend in response. That is the whole design: the effect is fair, but the cost at which you might get it is not, and miracle hands the discount out at random rather than on demand. Returning permanents to hand instead of destroying them is what keeps it honest as a symmetrical effect, since you reclaim your own developed pieces too: tempo, not card advantage, is the spoils. The reliable version is a five-mana reset anyone can build around. The miracle version is a two-mana blowout you cannot, and which the caster mostly cannot plan for either. Few cards capture the keyword's gamble so cleanly: a routine, answerable spell most games, and an unanswerable one on the games your first draw decides to cooperate.
