Double Jump // Flying Kick puts a creature in the air with double strike for two mana — that's a combat-winning swing on a relevant body, and Flying Kick's ward 2 keeps the target alive long enough for it to matter. Leonardo, the Balance // Michelangelo, the Heart decks run this at a 46% clip for a reason: the front half fuels evasive beatdown and the back half closes games.

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 |
Double Jump // Flying Kick is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's a Commander card through and through — the modal design pays off most in a format where you have a reliable creature at the top of the board to suit up turn after turn. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but competes with a removal suite dense enough to punish any aura-style investment, so it almost never sees play there. Commander is where the flying plus double strike combination on a protected target actually resolves into a threat that wins combat and threatens lethal in a multiplayer context.

Price Context
Current price
$0.25 bulk tier
At $0.25, Double Jump // Flying Kick sits firmly in bulk territory — pick it up without a second thought. Bulk rares don't typically climb unless a new commander pushes them into wider demand, but at this price the question isn't value, it's just whether it fits your strategy.
