What The Abyss Does
The Abyss is a World Enchantment that makes each player destroy one of their own nonartifact creatures during their upkeep, with regeneration not helping.
It is strongest in decks with few creatures, artifact creatures, or a plan to win without relying on normal creature boards.
Best Uses for The Abyss
- Black control: Pressures creature-heavy opponents every upkeep.
- Artifact creature decks: Can build around the nonartifact restriction.
- Reserved List testing: Lets casual groups test a rare and expensive control piece where proxies are allowed.
Recommended Interactions
The Abyss works well with cards that support control decks, creature suppression, or Reserved List testing. It is worth testing if your deck already wants this role and can use the card without forcing the whole list to become a tiny rules seminar.
- Ensnaring Bridge: Supports creature suppression plans.
- Bitterblossom: Creates expendable creatures if you need sacrifice fodder.
- The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale: Supports similar creature-taxing control strategies.
Strengths and Considerations
The main strength of The Abyss is its ability to continually attack creature boards without spending more cards. The main consideration is World Enchantment rules and creature-light deckbuilding make it narrower than normal removal. Testing The Abyss MTG proxy can help you decide whether it fits your Commander deck, cube, or casual playgroup.
