Mono-Green Eldrazi presents a mix of ramp creatures and large Eldrazi threats, and Terminate is unconditional removal that answers anything from an early Icetill Explorer to a resolved Emrakul, the Promised End (note Emrakul has protection from instants, so save Terminate for their other threats and use Sheoldred's Edict-style effects or combat instead against Emrakul specifically). Wear // Tear destroys their Utopia Sprawl or any artifact mana rock like Talisman of Impulse, slowing their ramp plan significantly. We trim the slower Chthonian Nightmare and Belladonna Took since proactive removal and tempo matter more than grindy card advantage here.

This is a mirror-ish matchup against another aggressive Boros creature deck, so Terminate is premium unconditional removal for their Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer or Boromir, Warden of the Tower. Wear // Tear answers their Goblin Bombardment, Blood Moon, or Static Prison, all of which can be backbreaking against us. We shave copies of the slower Chthonian Nightmare and Belladonna Took since this matchup is decided by efficient removal and board presence, not incremental value engines.

Affinity leans entirely on permanents like Urza's Saga, Mox Opal, and Kappa Cannoneer, so Wear // Tear is excellent, cleanly destroying any artifact threat or piece of their mana base like Urza's Saga or its tokens. Surgical Extraction can strip a copy of a key card like Urza's Saga from hand/library after exiling one instance, slowing their engine. We remove the graveyard-reliant Chthonian Nightmare, since their maindeck Tormod's Crypt already disrupts our own graveyard plans, along with a Belladonna Took to make room.
