<\/p>That’s right! MORE SYNERGY! Control decks might have a hard time dealing with swarms of creatures, so they tend to play board-wipe spells like Crux of Fate<\/a> or End Hostilities<\/a> (Damnation<\/a>, we hardly knew ye…). But wiping the board doesn’t do you much more than buy time if you don’t have a threat of your own! Luckily, Planeswalkers live through most board-wipes, generating value all over that empty board. But sometimes, you want a quicker win. Enter this synergy! Let’s say you have a Perilous Vault<\/a> and an Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver<\/a> with some big beatstick exiled under it. You’d like to kill your opponent with their own creature, but need to clear a path first. Just activate Ashiok’s -X ability, and respond to it by activating your Vault. Vault’s ability will resolve and exile all nonland permanents, and THEN Ashiok’s ability will drop your stolen creature onto a very empty board, facing down a very unhappy opponent. Happy times for you, though!<\/p>\n
