Electropotence turns every creature you play into a Lightning Bolt that can dome any target for damage equal to that creature's power — every single turn it's on board. The three-mana setup cost is real, but pair it with Tree of Perdition and you're threatening a one-shot kill the moment that 0/13 hits the battlefield.

Electropotence is a Commander card through and through — the three-mana enchantment with no immediate impact needs the long game and repeated creature deployment that multiplayer provides to generate real value. In Legacy and Vintage, it's technically legal but competes with formats that kill on turn one or two, leaving Electropotence far too slow to matter. Modern is similarly hostile; the format's aggro and combo density means a do-nothing enchantment on turn three is a liability. Commander is where it earns its slot, particularly in red creature-storm and big-power shells where the cumulative damage output across a full table of opponents adds up fast.

Current price
$0.32 bulk tier
At $0.32, Electropotence is deep bulk — the kind of card you pick up as an afterthought or pull from a bulk bin. Its niche combo ceiling keeps it from spiking, but it's stable at this floor; demand is narrow enough that it won't crater further either.
