Followed Footsteps copies a creature every upkeep — the right target and that snowball ends games. The cost is five mana and a big enchantment-removal target stapled to the creature you need to survive.

Eriette, the Beguiler
Eriette, the Beguiler drains opponents for each Aura you control, so Followed Footsteps stacking copies every turn multiplies that drain trigger while building a board that's hard to ignore.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Followed Footsteps is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but the only format where it sees real play is Commander. Five mana for a slow-rolling enchantment is disqualifying in Legacy, Modern, and Vintage — those formats kill you before the first copy trigger resolves. In Commander the calculation changes: games go long, the copy trigger compounds, and commanders like Eriette, the Beguiler or Timestream Navigator turn each new token into engine fuel rather than just a body.

Current price
$2.70 cheap tier
At $2.70, Followed Footsteps sits in a comfortable budget tier — cheap enough to slot in without a second thought, and the price reflects its niche appeal rather than any shortage of copies. It's unlikely to spike unless a pushed Commander-legal commander puts it on the radar, so there's no urgency either way.
