Call to Glory card art
Call to Glory untaps all Samurai and Soldiers and gives them +1/+1 until end of turn — at instant speed, for two mana — which is the entire sales pitch. The Elite Arcanist imprint line and the Raiyuu, Storm's Edge combat engine both want exactly this effect, and neither one cares that it does nothing outside creature-type tribal.

Raiyuu, Storm's Edge triggers on combat steps created by attacking solo with a Samurai or Warrior, and Call to Glory turns a defensive board into a surprise combat pump while keeping every creature untapped for blocks — the +1/+1 and the untap both matter when you're manufacturing extra attack phases and need the team ready for each one.

commander legal

pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper legal
oathbreaker legal

Call to Glory is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker — but outside Commander it sees essentially zero play, because Samurai tribal has no competitive presence in any of those formats. In Commander it earns a genuine slot in the right deck: Samurai and Soldier tribal builds use it as both a combat trick and a pseudo-vigilance enabler, and the instant speed means opponents have to respect it every time you leave two mana open. Treat it as a tribal-only tool; it has no home outside that lane.

Price Context

Current price

$0.17 bulk tier

At $0.17, Call to Glory is deep bulk — you'll find it in any commons box or throw-in trade. It won't rise unless Samurai tribal breaks into a competitive format, which isn't happening, so buy it for the effect and don't expect price movement in either direction.
