Standard forum

I am trying to find alternatives to Supreme Verdict and Anger of the Gods in my standard control deck. Cyclonic Rift is all I can think of, any other suggestions?

Unfortunately, there aren't any good board wipes except Supreme Verdict and Anger of the Gods right now.
Destructive board wipes are not in blue's color pie. However, you could use Curse of the Swine + Ratchet Bomb or AEtherize .
Black has zero board wipes right now. Mutilate and Barter in Blood both rotated out, so black-heavy decks are just itching for another good sweeper.
Far / Away can act as a pseudo-sweeper in U/B.

I think Mutilate got reprinted, and theres another card that im completely blanking on, 3U return all attacking creatures to owners hand

Hythonia the Cruel can monstrosity into a pseudo wipe.
Curse of the Swine can be a pseudo wipe.
Shipbreaker Kraken can monstrosity into a pseudo wipe.
And then there's Ratchet Bomb for specific wiping.
That's it as far as I can tell. And none of these really fit what you desire, I presume. Cyclonic Rift is really the way to go, with a couple ratchet bombs to deal with more aggro decks focusing on 1 and 2- drops.

Mizzium Mortars , it's not going to always get everything, but it is pretty effective at getting a lot of stuff
