Its easy for a niche card to be strong within its niche - and sometimes a card like that is simply so strong that it takes a deck from being a fun idea into a crushing way to play Commander - but its far rarer for a card to work in decks that its not intended for

These are subjective, of course, but look something like the following: Tier 1, which includes Austere Command, Merciless Eviction, Toxic Deluge, Damnation, and Wrath of God Tier 2, which includes Day of Judgment, Hour of Revelation, Decree of Pain, Cleansing Nova, Living Death, Winds of Abandon, and Fumigate Tier 3, which includes everything else thats not unplayable. The important thing to note with this kind of ordering is that my approach mirrors most closely that of Frank Karsten in his Limited Pick Order articlesthe worst card in Tier 1 is very close to the best in Tier 2, and so on
