Animate Wall lets a Wall attack, which sounds more exciting than it is — most Walls have 0 power, so you're swinging with a blocker that deals no damage. It's a one-mana enchantment that does nearly nothing in practice.

Animate Wall is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but seeing play in none of them at any meaningful rate. In Commander, the card asks you to build around high-power Walls — a niche Defender archetype that has strictly better support cards already. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a one-mana enchantment that enables an irrelevant combat step. Animate Wall is a curiosity, not a consideration.

unknown tier
Pricing data for Animate Wall isn't currently available, but the card is an old, low-demand rare that typically shows up in bulk bins for under a dollar. There's no competitive pressure driving its price, so if you want a copy for a Defender build, you're almost certainly paying pocket change.
