Demon's Due creates a 6/6 flying, lifelink Demon token for two mana — the catch is that token gets sacrificed at the beginning of your next end step. That's a massive rate for an alpha strike, a sacrifice trigger, or any engine that wants a disposable large body; don't run it hoping the Demon sticks.

Demon's Due is a bulk rare in Commander, but the decks that want it really want it — any sacrifice or aristocrats shell running Prossh, Skyraider of Kher, Korvold, Fae-Cursed King, or Ob Nixilis, Igniter treats the forced sacrifice as a feature rather than a drawback. In non-rotating 1v1 formats like Legacy and Vintage, two mana for a 6/6 flier is aggressively costed but the end-step death clause makes it unreliable as a standalone threat in those tempo-driven environments. Pauper is the one place Demon's Due has no home — it's not legal at that rarity floor. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander's dynamic: strong in sacrifice-matters builds, marginal elsewhere.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Demon's Due is deep bulk — pick up a playset for less than a coffee without a second thought. Bulk rares with narrow but real applications rarely spike unless a new commander pushes the archetype hard, so don't expect the price to move.
