Subjugate the Hobbits

Sorcery5 generic manaBlue manaBlue mana

A mass Mind Control that reads the whole board at once, filtered by a single line: mana value 3 or less. That threshold does an enormous amount of design work. It sweeps up the mana dorks, the utility creatures, the aristocrat fodder, the one- and two-drop hatebears, and the small evasive beaters that fill out most creature decks, while leaving the fatties and the commanders where they stand. The noncommander clause is the honest part of the deal: the biggest single trophies on the board are exactly the ones you cannot reach, so this is a spell about volume rather than the marquee steal that Control Magic and its descendants chase. It arrives at sorcery speed for seven, the price of the mass effect, but unlike an edict or a wrath it leaves you with the creatures rather than the exile pile, so the swing is doubled: every stolen dork is one they lost and one you gained on the same turn. The lineage runs back through Insurrection, another expensive mass-steal that collects a stalled battlefield into a single lethal alpha strike, but where that card grabs everything for one attack, this one keeps its haul permanently and simply declines to reach for the biggest bodies. It is a symmetric-board breaker built for tables where the small stuff has quietly become the majority of the battlefield.
