Burning Anger card art
Burning Anger turns any creature into a repeatable direct-damage engine — tap it to deal damage equal to its power to any target, as many times as you can untap it. Five mana to enchant is the real tax, and the payoff collapses without an untap outlet; pair it with Thornbite Staff or similar and the combo potential is immediate.

Burning Anger is a Commander card through and through — the format's access to powerful tap-untap loops and high-power creatures is exactly where it earns its slot. In 60-card formats like Modern and Legacy it's legal but essentially unplayed: five mana for a conditional, sorcery-speed setup piece that requires a creature to already be in play is too slow and fragile against interaction. Pioneer is the same story. Burning Anger's home is the 99 of any Commander deck that can generate repeated untap triggers, where a single resolved copy on the right creature ends the game.

Price Context

Current price

$0.24 bulk tier

At $0.24, Burning Anger is deep bulk — you'll find it in a dollar box before you find it listed individually. The price reflects narrow demand rather than low power; it's a combo-specific card that doesn't move unless untap-centric Commander builds spike in popularity.
