Morningtide's Light

I am a sucker for one-sided board wipes. This will clear the way of any blockers for your team, you can choose to have it not affect any of your board, and you will not have to worry about leaving blockers up since damage is prevented until your next turn. The timing and damage prevention reminds me of The One Ring. Since the creatures come back tapped, it will actually incentivize the players to your left attack the players to their left for a turn since they have no blockers still and you take no damage since it isn’t your turn yet. For example, if you are player A and you play Morningtide's Light, then player B will likely attack the other opponents since the creatures of players C D or E are still tapped and you would not take any damage from them. This can also retrigger your own ETB effects.

Downside: Morningtide's Light targets, so protection effects are resistant. This card isn’t true removal since they will get their creatures back at a cost of getting them tapped. This will also retrigger all of your opponents ETB effects as well. The damage prevention does not stop loss of life.

Card in consideration of taking out for it: a 3-cost single targeted removal like Stroke of Midnight or Generous Gift, or another one sided board wipe like Winds of Abandon or Avatar's Wrath
