Flames of the Raze-Boar deals 4 damage to a creature and then pings every other creature that player controls for 1 — conditional board wipe territory if your opponent is running small creatures, all for five mana. The catch is the requirement to control a creature with power 4 or greater, which makes this useless in the wrong shell but a clean two-for-one or better in the right one.

Flames of the Raze-Boar is a Commander card through and through — the format's multiplayer structure and tendency toward token-heavy or go-wide strategies is exactly where the splash damage clause earns its keep. In Modern and Pioneer the five-mana price tag is disqualifying; efficient spot removal and sweepers both cost less and don't require a power-4 creature in play. Legacy and Vintage have no interest at this rate. In Commander, run it in any red deck that already wants a big-bodied threat on board — the payoff against token decks and X/1 aggro boards is real, and the card is doing double duty as both removal and crowd control.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Flames of the Raze-Boar is deep bulk — you're paying a dime at most in any acquisition context. There's no price upside here; it's a narrow conditional sorcery that will stay in bulk bins indefinitely, but that also means slotting it into a Commander deck costs essentially nothing.
