Blinding Spray taps all creatures target opponent controls and draws you a card — five mana for a one-sided pseudo-fog that replaces itself. It's a fine combat trick in a tempo shell, but too narrow and expensive to justify a slot in most Commander lists.

Blinding Spray sees essentially no play in competitive formats — Legacy, Modern, and Vintage all offer tighter interaction at lower cost, and the effect doesn't come close to format-relevance there. In Commander, it has a narrow home: decks that win through combat damage in a single decisive swing can use Blinding Spray to punch through a stacked board, and the cantrip keeps it from being a dead draw in slower games. Even so, most blue Commander decks would rather spend five mana on a counterspell, a bounce effect, or a draw spell that doesn't require a specific board state to matter.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Blinding Spray is pure bulk — there's no financial reason to hesitate picking one up if you want it. Don't expect that to change; the card sees minimal demand across all formats, so it's a permanent fixture of the bulk bin.
