Chime of Night exiles a nonland permanent — no death triggers, no recursion, gone — and it does it at instant speed for two mana with a foretell option that splits the cost across turns. That combination of exile-not-destroy and mana flexibility makes it a real removal spell, not a filler one.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

In Commander, Chime of Night earns a slot in any black deck that wants clean, unconditional permanent removal at instant speed — foretell means you can bank it on turn two and fire it at the right moment without telegraphing your hand. Pauper is where it competes hardest, since common-legal exile removal is rare and the card fills a genuine hole in the format's removal suite. Legacy and Vintage have access to strictly better options and faster clocks, so Chime of Night doesn't make those cuts. Oathbreaker sits close to Commander in terms of function, and the same logic applies — foretell and exile are both relevant upsides at that table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Chime of Night is deep bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a card that does real work. Bulk rare prices like this rarely move without a sudden spike in format demand, so pick up copies as you need them rather than speculating.
