Barrow Witches returns a Knight card from your graveyard to your hand for five mana — a reasonable recursion effect stapled to a 3/3 body. The type restriction keeps it out of most decks, but in a dedicated Knight tribal shell it's a reliable way to rebuy your best threat.
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 | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Barrow Witches is a Commander card through and through — five mana for conditional recursion is too slow for Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, where graveyard payoffs need to cost one or two mana to matter. In Pauper it's legal but irrelevant; Knight tribal has no meaningful home in that format. Commander is where the five-mana ceiling is acceptable and tribal synergies justify narrow restrictions, making Barrow Witches a reasonable inclusion in the right 99.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Barrow Witches is deep bulk — pick it up in a trade binder or toss it in a cart filler slot without thinking twice. It won't appreciate; it's a single-printing common with a narrow use case, so buy it only when you need it.
