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 first introduced in the 2009 Conflux expansion as a legendary creature representing the physical embodiment of the plane of Alara. The card was designed to function as a powerful board wipe, clearing the battlefield upon its death to reflect the cataclysmic, world-altering lore of the set. Its design serves as a cornerstone for graveyard-focused strategies in the Commander format, where players utilize its recursive nature to reset the board repeatedly.
The 2022 Double Masters version, numbered 481, features the signature high-fantasy aesthetic typical of the set's premium reprints. This edition is notable for its polished visual presentation, which elevates the original artwork to showcase the card’s ethereal, destructive essence. It was released as part of a set specifically curated to provide players with sought-after reprints, solidifying the card's status as a staple for collectors and competitive players alike.
