Ravages of War

Ravages of War is a sorcery card featured in the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond: Fallout set released in 2024. The card is a direct functional reprint of an older card originally titled Armageddon, which has long been a staple of resource denial strategies in the game. By retheming it within the post-apocalyptic context of the Fallout series, Wizards of the Coast leaned into the franchise's thematic focus on nuclear annihilation and the total destruction of infrastructure.

The artwork for this version was produced by artist Alexander Mokhov, who leaned into the gritty, industrial aesthetic characteristic of the Fallout universe. The illustration captures a bleak landscape reflecting the mechanical and societal ruin often depicted in the games. The card was designed to be a high-impact board wipe that resets the state of the game, a role it has occupied in various card iterations for decades, generally received by players as a powerful, albeit controversial, tool for stabilizing or disrupting board states.
