mice cards mtg 3x Mouse White Token - Alfie's Adventure by Alfie AA230 when this creature enters Three Blind Mice (Card) |

Modern marks a key point of Magics design philosophy where they began to make the game more about creatures than about spells

Its whatever you need at that particular time

Vanquish the Horde is an eight-mana White sorcery that destroys every creature on the battlefield

(2024-11-08) To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions

Long version: In the modern color pie, red is the color for fast-mana effects (called "rituals" after the old Dark Ritual)

At that's likely a turn or two earlier and almost shifts it to another Commander bracket
