Darigaaz, the Igniter hits every opponent for up to 7 damage the moment it connects, punishing anyone who reveals a red, green, or black card from their hand. Seven mana is a real ask, but the damage trigger is so punishing that opponents will often eat the hit rather than reveal their strategy.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the only format where Darigaaz, the Igniter earns consistent play — three opponents means three chances to trigger the damage ability in a single swing, and multiplayer politics makes the "reveal or take 7" choice genuinely agonizing. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but competes against formats where seven mana is a game-ending investment with far more reliable payoffs available. Oathbreaker is the one fringe home outside Commander, where the same multi-opponent math applies at a smaller table.

Price Context
Current price
$1.99 cheap tier
At $1.99, Darigaaz, the Igniter sits at the low end of casual Commander staples — cheap enough to slot in without a second thought. Demand is steady but narrow, so the price isn't going anywhere dramatic in either direction.
