Fall from Favor taps a creature and keeps it tapped every upkeep for as long as the enchantment sticks — effectively locking a threat out of combat or blocking forever while you draw a card each turn it does. Three mana for repeating card advantage stapled to a soft lock is the whole case, and it holds up.
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 | banned |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Fall from Favor is banned in Pauper, which is the only format context that actually matters here — it was powerful enough at common to warp that format's threat-answer dynamic. In Commander, the restriction that sank it in Pauper essentially dissolves: opponents will spend removal on higher-priority targets, the political angle of locking down the most dangerous creature at the table buys goodwill, and the per-turn card draw compounds fast in a 40-life, four-player game. Legacy and Vintage permit it, but it never sees play there — three mana is too slow when the format ends on turn one or two.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
Fall from Favor sits at $0.07 — deep bulk, with no realistic path out of that tier given its Pauper ban removes the format that would drive demand. Pick up as many copies as you need without a second thought; the price is not going anywhere meaningful.
