Consulate Crackdown is a rare, and destroys all your opponent's supports. The problem, as I stated, isn't rarity, it's that the card costs 24 mana to cast. No one is going to take that into a normal PvP match because it simply costs too much to just cover your bases have have it "just in case". Most encounters there are few enough supports in play or they aren't so beneficial as to require you to clear them all off the field. It's just those handful of matches where the fact that support removal is either incredibly expensive and global or cheap and random that's the problem.And yes, there are other options, but Release the Gremlins only destroys three rather than all and is still 16 mana, Hour or Revelation, Cataclysmic Gearhulk, and The Great Aurora all wipe out everything and are all mythic rare and both hurt you as much as your opponent. Shatterstorm and Maelstrom Pulse are the only two that are affordable enough to bring in to most matches, and both are locked behind masterpiece rarity.
