Relic Crush

Relic Crush was originally released in the Commander 2013 set and later included as card number 142 in the 2018 Commander Anthology Volume II collection. Designed as a staple utility card for the multiplayer Commander format, it serves as a sorcery-speed removal spell capable of destroying two target artifacts or enchantments. The card was crafted to provide green decks with efficient, flexible answers to the diverse permanent types commonly found on the battlefield in casual, social play.

The artwork for the card was created by illustrator Wayne England, whose distinctive style became a cornerstone of Magic: The Gathering visual identity for many years. England’s approach often emphasized high-contrast movement and expressive, slightly stylized fantasy imagery. In the context of Commander Anthology Volume II, the inclusion of this card reflected a desire to reprint functional, thematic staples that helped players navigate the complex board states characteristic of the Commander format, maintaining the card's status as a reliable inclusion for deck builders.
