Call of the Wild card art
Call of the Wild turns four mana into a free creature every turn — as long as the top of your library cooperates. Pair it with Mortuary and the engine becomes genuinely broken; in isolation it's a fair value engine that rewards top-deck manipulation.

Call of the Wild is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it only sees meaningful play in Commander. Four mana to activate at sorcery speed is too slow and too fragile for Legacy, Modern, or Vintage, where the game is decided before a repeatable enchantment can generate more than one or two activations. In Commander, the math changes — 40 life, longer games, and creature-dense strategies make each activation worth the investment, especially in decks that manipulate the top of the library.

Price Context

Current price

$0.39 bulk tier

At $0.39, Call of the Wild is firmly bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a dollar bin. It's a low-reprint, older card with a narrow audience, so the price is unlikely to spike without a high-profile Commander deck featuring it.
