Farsight Adept replaces itself the moment it enters and gives everyone else a card too — a five-mana 2/4 that wheels the table is a steep ask for that effect. Run it in decks that weaponize group draw or punish opponents for holding cards; everywhere else, it's too slow and too charitable.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Farsight Adept lives almost entirely in Commander, where group-draw effects have a home in pillowfort, politics, and Smothering Tithe-style punishment shells. In Pauper it's legal but five mana for a 2/4 and a cantrip-for-all is uncompetitive in a format that demands efficiency. Legacy, Vintage, Modern, and Pioneer are non-starters — the effect is too slow and too symmetrical for any of those environments. Oathbreaker can use it the same way Commander does, though the 20-life total makes the four-toughness body less relevant as a blocker.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Farsight Adept is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box rather than buy. Price stability is a near-certainty; nothing about the card's design pushes demand high enough to move that number.
