Arrows of Justice deals 4 damage to an attacking or blocking creature — conditional, sorcery-adjacent timing, and sorcery-speed removal was never the problem Commander needed solved. At three mana with a narrow trigger window, it doesn't earn a slot when instant-speed unconditional removal exists at the same price point.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Arrows of Justice is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability aren't the same thing. In Commander, 4 damage misses the format's biggest threats and the combat restriction means you can't touch the combo piece sitting on the battlefield doing nothing in an attack step. Across competitive formats like Modern and Legacy, far more efficient instant-speed removal makes this a non-starter. Oathbreaker has the same problem at a smaller table — you need answers that work in any game state, not just during combat.

At $0.07, Arrows of Justice is deep bulk — the kind of card that shows up in bulk lots and goes right back in the box. The price reflects the demand accurately; don't expect it to move.
