Bounding Krasis card art
Bounding Krasis enters the battlefield and taps or untaps any creature — which is exactly what Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker needs to go infinite on the spot. Three mana for a 3/3 flash body that doubles as a combo piece is an honest rate.

Commander is where Bounding Krasis earns its slot, specifically in Temur or Simic shells running untap-based infinite-creature combos. In Modern and Legacy it's outclassed — faster formats have no patience for a three-mana setup piece when the same combo lines run cheaper enablers. Pioneer is technically legal but the card sees no meaningful play there. Bounding Krasis is a Commander card wearing a multi-format legal badge.

Price Context

Current price

$0.25 bulk tier

At $0.25, Bounding Krasis is deep bulk — a combo piece with no supply problem and no price floor to protect. It holds that price as long as the Kiki-Jiki combo remains popular in Commander, which is a safe long-term assumption, but don't expect movement in either direction.
