Cenn's Enlistment makes two 1/1 Kithkin Soldier tokens for four mana — that rate is unimpressive on its own, but retrace means every land in your late-game hand converts directly into more bodies. The card earns its slot in token strategies specifically because it turns a resource you'd otherwise be flooding on into a repeatable threat.

In Commander, Cenn's Enlistment is a legitimate card draw safety valve — it doesn't replace card draw, but it means flood is never purely dead. Pauper is where it sees the most competitive scrutiny, slotting into token-based go-wide strategies that have access to Kithkin synergies or sacrifice payoffs and can recur it aggressively over several turns. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; the rate is far too slow for those formats, and retrace won't save it when the competition starts on turn one. Oathbreaker shares Commander's multiplayer pacing, so the same flood-mitigation logic applies there, particularly in white token builds that tend to run higher land counts.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Cenn's Enlistment is firmly bulk — you can pick up a playset for the cost of a pack of gum. That price is stable because demand is narrow and supply is abundant; this is not a card that spikes.
