Unstable Glyphbridge // Sandswirl Wanderglyph

Artifact // Artifact Creature — Golem

A one-sided board wipe is not a new idea, but this one hands the exemption around the table rather than keeping it: cast it and every player, including you, can keep one creature of power 2 or less they control, then everything else dies. That symmetry is the constraint that pays for a five-mana Wrath effect. It rewards the deck built low to the ground, and it leaves each opponent with an eligible creature a body so the sweep reads less like an act of aggression and more like a reset the table can live with. The cast clause is load-bearing: the exemption only fires if you cast it, so blinking it in or reanimating it strands you with an artifact that trades nothing, since the destroy-all trigger never fires without the cast condition met.

Craft is what makes the second face strange. Feed the sweeper an artifact and it returns a flying Golem whose two abilities pull in opposite directions on the same turn: an opponent who casts a spell can't attack you, and an opponent who attacks you can't cast spells. It is a pillow-fort lock built as a fork, forcing each opponent to choose whether to swing at you or keep casting. The bridge collapses a mass-removal spell and a hard-to-crack defensive engine into a single card that answers a board now and shuts the door later, with an artifact you no longer need as the toll.
