What it does

Destroy all lands or all creatures. Creatures destroyed this way can't be regenerated.

Provenance

Where it came from

Catastrophe was introduced as a rare sorcery card in the Urza's Destiny expansion, released in 1999 as the final set of the Urza block. The card was designed during a period of high-complexity mechanical development for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, reflecting the set's focus on powerful artifacts and flexible, high-impact spells that could significantly alter the state of the battlefield.

The artwork for this card was created by Andrew Robinson, a prolific illustrator for the game during this era. Robinson utilized a stark, dramatic style to capture the essence of a total board wipe, illustrating the thematic concept of a complete reset. Upon release, the card became a staple in control-oriented decks due to its versatility, providing players with the choice between destroying all creatures or all lands.
