Anoint card art
Anoint regenerates a target creature for a single white mana — full protection from destruction until end of turn, no questions asked. The rate is exceptional, and Avatar Aang // Aang, Master of Elements players in particular will recognize it as a reliable way to keep their commander alive through removal-heavy boards.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern not legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper legal
oathbreaker legal

Anoint is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker — and Pauper is the format where it actually sees a second look, since regeneration at one mana is a real tempo play when every resource counts. In Commander, it's a niche include: regeneration doesn't stop exile-based removal, which is ubiquitous at most tables, so Anoint competes poorly against the suite of protection spells that do more work. Legacy and Vintage give it a legal home but no meaningful role — white has cleaner options at every angle.

Price Context

Current price

$0.07 bulk tier

At $0.07, Anoint is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box without thinking twice. That price is stable by definition; there's no demand driver that would move it.
