Auger Spree hits a creature for -4/-0 and gives another creature +4/+0 until end of turn — netting two power of swing on board for two mana at instant speed. It's a combat trick, not a removal spell, and that distinction makes it a narrow card outside of very specific shells.

Auger Spree is a Pauper-legal combat trick, and that's the format where it sees the most plausible use — red-black aggro decks can occasionally leverage the stat swap to win a combat they'd otherwise lose. In Commander, it's too low-impact: a -4/-0 debuff rarely kills anything, and a one-turn pump on a blocker doesn't advance a board state that matters at four players. Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Vintage all have access to instant-speed removal that actually eliminates threats, making Auger Spree strictly a last-look option in those formats.
