Is Fell the Profane // Fell Mire good in Commander?

Fell the Profane // Fell Mire in Commander

Fell the Profane // Fell Mire kills a nonland permanent for four mana — unconditional enough to matter — and the backside enters untapped as a black source when you need the land more than the removal. Gwenom, Remorseless decks run it at nearly a 46% clip for exactly this flexibility: one card that pulls double duty without costing you a land slot.

Rev, Tithe Extractor

In Commander, Fell the Profane // Fell Mire earns its slot as a flexible two-in-one: unconditional permanent removal on one side and an untapped black source on the other, which is exactly the kind of card a 99-card deck wants when every slot competes. The four-mana cost is a real limitation at higher-powered tables where Swords to Plowshares and Deadly Rollick exist, but in the majority of Commander games the flexibility more than compensates. In Legacy and Vintage it's fringe at best — those formats punish four-mana sorceries harshly, and the land side rarely matters when your mana base is already optimized. Modern could theoretically host it in a dedicated MDFC land-package shell, but again the rate is too slow for a format with Fatal Push and Leyline Binding. Commander is clearly where Fell the Profane // Fell Mire does its best work.
