What it does
Trample
When Child of Alara dies, destroy all nonland permanents. They can't be regenerated.
The progeny of the Maelstrom shows no allegiance—and no mercy—to any of the five shards.

Where it came from
Child of Alara was released in 2009 as a mythic rare card in the Magic: The Gathering set Conflux. It represents the literal embodiment of the plane of Alara, a world that had been shattered into five separate shards and was reunited during the events of the Alara block storyline. Mechanically, the card was designed to function as a powerful board wipe, reflecting the destructive and transformative energy required to meld the five distinct mana-aligned worlds back into one cohesive plane.
The artwork for the card was created by fantasy illustrator Lars Grant-West. He was tasked with visualizing a being of immense, overwhelming scale that simultaneously captured the aesthetic essence of all five colors of magic. The resulting piece depicts the entity as a cosmic, multi-limbed figure emerging from a central nexus of light. Upon its release, the card was noted for its unique role in Commander format decks, where players valued its ability to act as both a threat and a tactical reset button for the battlefield.
