— All creatures lose all abilities until end of turn.
Final Showdown offers several different ways to manage creatures at instant speed. Its spree options remove all creature abilities for the turn, give one of your creatures indestructible, or destroy all creatures. You choose one or more modes and add their costs to the base white mana, creating anything from a small tactical play to a comprehensive reset.
The modes resolve in printed order. Choosing all three first strips abilities, then grants indestructible to your chosen creature, then destroys the creatures. That can preserve one of your bodies while removing creatures that normally rely on indestructible or other abilities for protection. The complete package costs eight mana, so it is a substantial late-game play rather than a one-mana sweeper.
Cheaper combinations remain useful. Removing abilities can disrupt combat keywords or shut off a creature's static protection for the turn. Granting indestructible can save a key creature from destruction. Choosing the destroy mode alone costs six mana including the base cost, giving you an instant-speed sweeper when the extra modes are unnecessary.
Buying only the first two modes costs three mana total: the base white mana plus one for each selected mode. That can strip combat abilities while preserving a chosen creature against a separate destruction effect. The cost calculation changes substantially when you add the five-mana sweeper mode.
Consider what your own creatures lose before choosing the ability-removal mode. Death triggers and useful static abilities can disappear along with opposing text. The card rewards planning a specific sequence rather than always buying every mode. White control and creature decks can both use its flexibility, especially when keeping mana open lets them decide between protection and a full board reset after seeing opponents' plays.
