Back to Nature wipes every enchantment off the battlefield at instant speed for two mana — it's one of the most efficient hate spells green has ever had. Run it when Nine Lives, Propaganda effects, or Auras are eating your table alive.

In Commander, Back to Nature is a silver bullet: useless game-to-game until the moment it's exactly what you need, at which point it ends a lock piece or clears five enchantments at once. Enchantment-heavy metas — Zur the Enchanter, Sythis, Harvest's Hand, pillow-fort piles — make it a legitimate include over narrow single-target removal. In Legacy and Vintage it sees fringe sideboard play against enchantment-based combo and prison, though the nonland permanent density in those formats limits its ceiling. Modern and Pioneer treat it as a niche sideboard option when Leyline of Sanctity or similar enchantments need bulk answers.

At $0.39, Back to Nature is firmly bulk — easy to pick up as a last-minute sideboard or 99 slot without a second thought. Bulk removal staples like this rarely spike unless they rotate into a new format or a relevant reprint suppresses demand, so expect it to stay in this range.
