Arguel's Blood Fast // Temple of Aclazotz is a repeatable draw engine that trades life for cards at two mana — cheap enough to land early, punishing enough to matter all game. The life cost is real, but in black, life is a resource, and the flip condition into a land that gains it back closes the loop; just don't run it alongside Outrider en-Kor effects that drain you faster than you can recoup.

Commander is where Arguel's Blood Fast // Temple of Aclazotz earns its keep — 40 life gives you room to pay two per draw repeatedly without collapsing, and the flip into Temple of Aclazotz provides a stabilizing land in the late game when you've burned low. In Legacy and Vintage, faster formats punish two-mana do-nothing enchantments hard, and dedicated draw spells or Phyrexian mana options outclass it on efficiency. Modern and Pioneer have similar problems — the card is too slow against aggressive opposition and too fragile against enchantment hate to see real play. Stick to Commander, where the life buffer is large and the long-game value compounds.

$0.33 bulk tier
At $0.33, Arguel's Blood Fast // Temple of Aclazotz sits firmly in bulk territory — this is a pickup you grab as a throw-in, not a card you track down specifically. Bulk rares with genuine Commander utility tend to stay flat or tick up slowly as supply depletes, so there's no urgency either direction; just grab one next time you're placing an order.
