Cloudseeder puts a Faerie token with flying into play at instant speed for two mana, then lets you pay one blue to add a fog counter to a target cloud — a repeatable effect that scales with how many clouds you control. It's a niche enabler that earns its slot only in dedicated Faerie or cloud-matters builds; everywhere else, it's too narrow to justify.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Cloudseeder has its best shot, specifically in Faerie tribal or cloud-synergy decks that can exploit both halves of the card. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but has no competitive home — the effect is too slow and situational for those formats' power levels. Modern is the same story: legal on paper, irrelevant in practice. Cloudseeder is a build-around piece that needs the right 99 cards around it to do anything meaningful.

Price Context
Current price
$0.19 bulk tier
At $0.19, Cloudseeder is firmly bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or in a collection purchase. Given how narrow its applications are, don't expect the price to move unless a future set introduces cloud synergies that push it into wider demand.
