Cunning Geysermage enters the battlefield and bounces a creature, then replaces itself by drawing a card when it leaves — solid tempo wrapped in a single body. The cost is the three-mana price tag on a 2/2 with no immediate board presence beyond the bounce, which limits it to decks that specifically want the enter-and-leave triggers.
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 |
In Commander, Cunning Geysermage fits blink and flicker shells that can loop its enter-the-battlefield bounce repeatedly — the draw-on-leave clause means every flicker cycle replaces the card. Pauper is where Cunning Geysermage has the clearest competitive home, since common-legal bounce with a cantrip stapled on is legitimately hard to come by at this mana cost. In Modern and Pioneer the card is legal but functionally absent — the power bar is too high for a 2/2 that bounces once and draws one. Legacy and Vintage are similarly uninterested; there are cheaper and more explosive ways to generate tempo.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Cunning Geysermage is deep bulk — a penny-box card you pick up without thinking about it. That price holds because demand is narrow and supply is wide, so don't expect movement in either direction.
