Organic Extinction
The board wipe as artifact payoff. White's Wrath effects have always been priced at the ceiling: four mana at their cheapest, and the game accepted that as the cost of resetting the board. Improvise rewrites that math from the other side. The printed cost sits at ten, high enough that no one casts it for full value, but every artifact you control after tapping for mana shaves a generic pip, so a table full of Treasure tokens, mana rocks, and Signets collapses the number toward something you can cast on the same turn you developed. The wrinkle is the exemption baked into the wipe: it destroys all nonartifact creatures, which means the artifacts that just funded the spell (Servos, Thopters, a Karnstruct or two) walk away untouched. A conventional Wrath is symmetric misery; this one turns the go-wide artifact board into both the payment method and the survivors, so you detonate everything that is not an artifact while keeping your own developed side intact. It becomes a sweeper a go-wide artifact deck can fire as a one-sided reset rather than a reluctant reset button. The nominal ten-mana price tag is the disguise; the real cost is measured in how many artifacts you were already going to have in play.
