# Terminate Terminate is a straightforward two-mana black-red instant that destroys target creature. Its simplicity makes it a workhorse removal spell that appeals to collectors building casual decks and Commander lists. The card matters because efficient creature removal remains perpetually relevant across Magic formats. Collectors typically view Terminate as a functional reprint of earlier removal effects, valued more for playability than scarcity. The Assassin's Creed version offers a thematic crossover appeal for players interested in that property. The etched variant provides an alternative aesthetic for those preferring that finish. Neither version commands particular collector premiums, making Terminate accessible to players seeking quality removal without significant investment.
