Lore

Why it matters

Abrade is a versatile tool for any player, as its ability to either destroy an artifact or deal damage to a creature offers critical flexibility during a match. Because it efficiently handles two distinct types of threats with a single card, it is a highly valued inclusion for those looking to maintain control of the board.

Provenance

Where it came from

Abrade was originally printed in the Hour of Devastation set in 2017, but this specific version appeared in the 2020 Commander Legends expansion. Designed as a flexible removal spell, the card was intended to provide red decks with a utility option that could handle both small creatures and artifacts. The Commander Legends iteration, identified as card number 659, features updated art that aligns with the set's focus on high-fantasy, draft-centric play for the popular Commander format.

The card’s design focuses on efficiency and versatility, allowing players to choose between dealing three damage to a creature or destroying an artifact. Within the game’s mechanics, this duality has made it a staple in various formats, valued for its ability to remain relevant throughout different stages of a game. It is well-regarded by players for its balanced cost-to-effect ratio, consistently seeing play in deck builds that prioritize reactive, multi-functional spells.
