Disturbing Mirth
Enchantment
When this enchantment enters, you may sacrifice another enchantment or creature. If you do, draw two cards.
When you sacrifice this enchantment, manifest dread. (Look at the top two cards of your library. Put one onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature and the other into your graveyard. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.)

Disturbing Mirth replaces itself and a sacrificed enchantment with two 1/1 tokens — card-neutral at worst, tempo-positive when the enchantment was already dying. Ghen, Arcanum Weaver decks run it because the sacrifice is a feature, not a cost.

Ghen, Arcanum Weaver trades enchantments from the graveyard back onto the battlefield, so feeding him a spent enchantment via Disturbing Mirth turns one dead permanent into two bodies and a fresh card — the engine rarely runs cleaner than that.

In Commander, Disturbing Mirth earns its slot exclusively in enchantment-sacrifice shells — outside that niche it's too slow and too low-impact at four mana. Constructed formats offer faster card draw and better token generation at lower costs, so Disturbing Mirth doesn't compete in Modern, Pioneer, or Legacy where the bar for sorcery-speed draw is unforgiving. Standard is the one context where bulk uncommons sometimes find a window, but the effect isn't pushed enough to see meaningful play there either. This is a Commander card, and even in Commander it belongs in a specific deck, not a generic slot.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Disturbing Mirth sits firmly in bulk territory — pick it up without a second thought if the deck wants it. Bulk enchantment payoffs rarely spike unless a new commander pushes mass adoption, so expect the price to stay right where it is.
