Soul of Emancipation

The compensation clause is what makes the design legal. Mass removal that hits any three nonland permanents (creatures, artifacts, enchantments, planeswalkers, all fair game) would be brutally one-sided at this rate, so every permanent you destroy hands its controller a 3/3 flier. Wreck three of an opponent's threats and you leave them a trio of Angels in return. That inversion turns the ability into a negotiation rather than a Wrath: you trade their existing board state (untapped attackers, resolved planeswalkers, engine artifacts) for uniform bodies you get to plan around, while the 5/7 that generated the swing stays on your side. The flexible targeting is the real payoff. Because you choose the permanents, you can spread a Vindicate-style trigger across an entire table, dismantling three different problem cards at once, or point all three at your own liabilities to convert dead permanents into fliers you control. It sits in a lineage of green-white-blue value engines that ask you to weigh what the opponent gets, not just what you remove: the token gift is the tax on an otherwise absurd amount of interaction stapled to a durable body.
