Consign to the Pit destroys any creature and taps two others — real board impact for a single spell. The problem is five mana at sorcery speed, which prices it out of most competitive lists where cheaper, instant-speed options exist.

In Commander, Consign to the Pit occupies the low end of playable removal — the tapping clause occasionally matters in a multiplayer game where freezing two attackers can buy a critical turn, but five mana at sorcery speed is a real cost in a format where three-mana instant removal is plentiful. Pauper is the format where Consign to the Pit earns genuine consideration, since the common-only card pool thins out unconditional creature removal quickly and the tap rider has more relative impact. In Modern, Legacy, and Vintage, it has no competitive footprint — those formats move too fast for a five-mana sorcery that doesn't win the game outright.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Consign to the Pit is deep bulk — you'll find copies in any common box or draft chaff pile without thinking twice about the price. Don't expect that to change; bulk commons at this power level don't appreciate.
