Gameplay

Enchantment

Cumulative upkeep {1} (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.) At the beginning of your draw step, destroy each creature with mana value equal to the number of age counters on this enchantment. They can't be regenerated.

The sea of fear has endless depths.

If you don't pay the cumulative upkeep, you'll sacrifice Wave of Terror before your draw step begins. It won't destroy any creatures that turn.

2008-04-01wotc

This destroys creatures with mana value exactly equal to the appropriate number, not equal to or less than that number.

2005-06-01wotc

Will not generally kill zero cost creatures because the age counters go on before the ability triggers. If would be possible if something like Power Conduit were removing counters.

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #28,514 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
