Cyclonic Rift is one of the most talked about blue cards in Commander because its overloaded mode returns all opponents’ nonland permanents to their hands. It acts as both early interaction and a late-game blowout that clears the way for a win. That flexibility and asymmetry have made it a go-to finisher in many blue decks, appearing frequently on staple lists. Ongoing debates about its power level underscore how central it is to blue’s identity in the format.
