Divine Arrow kills any blocking or attacking creature with flying for a single white mana at instant speed — clean, conditional, cheap. Outside of dedicated flyer-hate builds, better options exist at the same cost.

In Commander, Divine Arrow is too narrow: it misses every ground threat and competes against instant-speed removal that doesn't care about combat positioning, so it rarely earns a slot in the 99. Pauper is its most defensible home, where the common card pool is thinner and stopping an evasive flyer at instant speed for one mana can matter in the right white shell. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer the card is legal but invisible — the removal suites in those formats are simply better across the board. Divine Arrow is the kind of card that looks playable until you list what it can't hit.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Divine Arrow is deep bulk — you'll find it in any common bin without looking hard. Bulk status is stable here; there's no competitive demand that would push the price, so pick it up for a quarter if you need it and don't think twice about the cost.
