Barishi is a 3/3 for five mana that exiles itself to remove any non-Aura enchantment on the battlefield — clean, permanent, and requires no other setup. The rate is poor for competitive tables, but the effect is unconditional in a color combination that has historically struggled to answer enchantments.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the only realistic home for Barishi. Enchantments are everywhere in the format — Propaganda, Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe — and green-based decks that lack instant-speed answers sometimes want a body that doubles as a removal spell. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; no competitive shell is paying five mana for a 3/3 with a situational activated ability when better options exist at every point on the curve. Oathbreaker is legal but faces the same rate problem.

Price Context
Current price
$0.23 bulk tier
At $0.23, Barishi is deep bulk — you're not buying this for financial upside, and there is none. It holds its floor simply because bulk creature prices rarely fall further; pick it up if you need it, but don't expect the price to move in either direction.
