Angelfire Ignition card art
Angelfire Ignition dumps five keywords onto a creature for two mana, turning any attacker into an immediate threat that can block, gain life, and redirect damage on the way back. In Feather, the Redeemed decks, recasting it every turn loop makes Spitemare a repeatable damage engine that scales with every hit.

pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Angelfire Ignition is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker — broad reach, but Commander is where it actually sees play. In 60-card formats it's a one-off trick without a recursion engine, and better pump spells exist for most aggressive strategies. In Commander the card earns its slot almost exclusively in Feather, the Redeemed, where the built-in recursion transforms a two-mana spell into a permanent equipment-level buff that resets every turn.

Price Context

Current price

$1.24 cheap tier

At $1.24, Angelfire Ignition is a cheap pickup with a narrow home — demand is real but concentrated almost entirely in Feather, the Redeemed builds, so the price is stable rather than climbing.
