Cliffhaven Sell-Sword puts a 3/1 with trample on the board for two mana — and in the right shell, that's almost free. Jasmine Boreal of the Seven turns it into a no-cost threat by letting you cast it without paying its mana cost, which is exactly the kind of rate the archetype is hunting for.

Jasmine Boreal of the Seven
Jasmine Boreal of the Seven's ability to cast vanilla creatures for free makes Cliffhaven Sell-Sword a pure resource-positive play — a 3/1 trample that costs nothing off the top of your deck every time you cast a spell.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Cliffhaven Sell-Sword is legal in every major format but belongs almost exclusively in Commander, where the Jasmine Boreal of the Seven synergy concentrates its demand. In Pauper it's technically playable at common, but a vanilla 3/1 for two with trample doesn't clear the bar in an environment full of efficient creatures and interaction. Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Vintage have zero interest — the card has no text beyond a creature type and a size that stopped being competitive a long time ago. Stick to the Commander shelf.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Cliffhaven Sell-Sword is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box, not a singles order. Demand is narrow enough that this price isn't going anywhere meaningful, so grab it cheap and don't think twice.
