Sorcery2 generic manaWhite manaWhite mana

White wraths have always been egalitarian in the wrong direction: everyone loses the board, and the deck that overcommitted pays the steepest tempo cost. This one attaches a consolation prize, and rigs who receives it. The reset is unconditional (destroy all creatures), but the investigate instruction goes only to the player or players tied for the most creatures, so the Clue lands with whoever built the widest board right before it got flattened. A sweeper that consoles the deck being swept sounds like a misprint; read it instead as a symmetry-breaker with a clear intended pilot. Cast it while ahead on bodies and you clear both sides but walk away with a Clue to soften the wipe you chose to trigger. Cast it while behind and you hand that Clue to the opponent who outnumbered you, so the effect is honest about who it rewards: you buy the board wipe by fueling the deck that built the wider position. The compensation is deliberately modest, a single card down the line rather than a rebuild, and that is what keeps this from being a strictly better sweeper for the aggressor. Investigate here does the structural work a rebuild clause does on other sweepers, but rationed to one card and distributed by a metric (creature count at resolution) the sweeping player does not always control.

Each player who controls the most creatures investigates. Then destroy all creatures. (To investigate, create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "2 generic mana, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
