Cleanse

About Cleanse

Cleanse, Spell, designed by None first released in September 2026 in the set Roots of Corruption.

Cleanse best fits Lyra tempo/control decks that want to disrupt an opponent’s expedition cheaply while advancing their own dice-roll, random-value, or reserve-interaction plan; sending a low-cost Character to Reserve is particularly effective against decks relying on efficient 1- to 3-cost bodies or on replaying anchored board pieces. Its ceiling is good when the die hits 4–6, but the variance makes it unreliable removal, and returning rather than permanently answering a Character can give the opponent useful Reserve access. More dependable interaction is generally preferable when available: `Off You Go!` is the stronger choice when you need consistent bounce, while Cleanse earns slots only if your list actively benefits from rolling dice or specifically needs inexpensive, flexible tempo against low-base-cost Characters. It is playable as a metagame or synergy inclusion, but not usually a default staple.
