Provenance

Where it came from

Cleansing Beam was released in 2011 as part of the inaugural Commander preconstructed deck series, a set designed by Wizards of the Coast to support the increasingly popular fan-created Commander format. The card appeared in the 'Mirror Mastery' deck, which focused on the Riku of Two Reflections commander. By including specific utility cards like this one, the designers aimed to provide players with accessible, format-specific tools for handling creature-heavy board states.

The artwork was provided by Pat Lee, an illustrator well known for his extensive work on the Transformers comic book franchise. His contribution to the card reflects a dramatic, high-contrast aesthetic typical of his comic book background. The piece was received as a functional addition to the red color identity's repertoire, designed to offer a form of repeatable damage that rewards players for navigating the unique multiplayer dynamics inherent to the Commander experience.
