About Slaughter the Strong

Slaughter the Strong, Sorcery, designed by Randy Vargas first released in Jan, 2018 in the set Rivals of Ixalan Promos and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.74.

A white weenie aggro deck in Magic: the Gathering could benefit from using Slaughter the Strong to clear the board of larger threats while keeping their own small creatures intact. However, there are better options such as Settle the Wreckage which exiles all attacking creatures or Wrath of God which destroys all creatures, making Slaughter the Strong less desirable for most decks unless specifically tailored to take advantage of its restrictions.

Rules

11/10/20

If a creature’s power is somehow less than 0, it subtracts from the total power of the other creatures its controller chooses. This can cause creatures with power 5 or greater to survive.

11/10/20

Slaughter the Strong has each player choose any number of creatures and then checks that the total power of creatures each player chose this way is 4 or less. For example, you could save two 2/2 creatures, or a 1/1 and a 3/3 creature, but not all four of those creatures.
