10 Budget Hidden Gems You Should Be Playing in Commander – 06 Out of Time

From Modern Horizons 2 is Out of Time, an Enchantment that offers an interesting way to remove all creatures from play for a period of time. Featuring an old keyword in Vanishing, Out of Time allows you to phase the board of each creature on the battlefield and add a Time counter for each creature that’s phased out this way. If timed correctly, Out of Time could very well have a bunch of counters, forcing opponents to remove the card if their Commander is phased out with this spell. Also, you can cast the card defensively if you anticipate a sweeper to reset the board where you Vanish your creatures away and use an Enchantment removal spell to return them to play.
In particular, Out of Time is excellent in Enchantment-based Commander builds that can leverage cards such as Heliod’s Generosity, Sun Titan, or Sevinne’s Reclamation to decent effect, where you have this mana-efficient way to deal with threats while establishing your own board. Commanders such as Aminatou, the Fateshifter and Zur, the Enchanter are very interested in Out of Time, with additional applications in Stax Commanders such as the obnoxious Grand Arbiter Augustin IV.
