Board-flavored removal has usually cost you nothing on the way in: you cast the sweeper, you keep whatever you already had. This one bundles the payment and the payoff into a single body, which changes the calculus. The trigger picks off each opponent's single largest threat, one per player, and leaves a 5/5 vigilance behind to press the advantage or hold the line. It is not a wrath; it does not touch small stuff, and a wide board slips right past it. What it punishes is the fat: the commander, the reanimated giant, the enchanted beater. The design leans into casual multiplayer arithmetic, where every opponent contributes exactly one victim and the caster nets a durable creature out of the exchange. The vigilance is doing real work here, since a seven-mana investment that can attack and still guard against the retaliation you just provoked is worth more than the same body without it. Straightforward, honest, and built for the kitchen table it came from: a top-end white creature that clears the biggest thing across the pod and refuses to leave you empty-handed.
