Temporal Cleansing

Description

Temporal Cleansing is a blue sorcery card featured in the Lorwyn Eclipsed expansion of Magic: The Gathering, identified by card number 78 in the set. Released in 2026, this card introduces a versatile gameplay option that blends resource management with strategic board control. The card requires a mana cost of {3}{U} and has a mana value of 4, fitting into the blue color identity of the game. Its most distinctive feature is the Convoke mechanic, which allows players to tap their creatures to help cast the spell, reducing the mana expense by {1} or one mana of that creature's color. This interaction encourages players to leverage their existing board presence for efficient spell casting. The primary effect of Temporal Cleansing targets a nonland permanent, allowing the controller to place it second from the top or on the bottom of its owner's library. This ability provides flexibility in managing threats or drawing specific cards, making it a valuable tool in various strategic contexts. The card's flavor text, "Careless fae become lost in dreamstuff too sweet," hints at the ethereal nature of the spell within the Lorwyn Eclipsed universe. Illustrated by Wylie Beckert, the card is classified as a Common rarity, ensuring its accessibility to a wide range of players. As a standard sorcery, it can only be played during the controller's main phase when the stack is empty, adhering to the fundamental rules of Magic: The Gathering. Collectors and players alike appreciate the card for its clever design and the strategic depth it adds to blue-based decks within the Lorwyn Eclipsed format.
