Font of Fortunes draws two cards for three mana — and it asks you to pay two of that up front, then wait for the payoff. That split cost makes it strictly worse than Divination in any deck that isn't explicitly building around enchantment synergies or sacrifice triggers, and there are too many better options at this slot to justify it otherwise.

In Commander, Font of Fortunes is fringe-playable only in enchantress or sacrifice-synergy builds — everywhere else, three mana for two cards with a delay is a slot that Preordain, Arcane Denial, or a cantrip does better. Pauper is the format where Font of Fortunes has the most competitive footing, since the card pool at common is shallow and two-card draw spells carry more weight. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer, it sees essentially no play; the formats move too fast for a do-nothing enchantment that sits on the board before delivering its effect. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander — synergy-dependent, not a default inclusion.

Price Context
Current price

At $0.03, Font of Fortunes is deep bulk — you'll find it in a commons box, not a binder. That price reflects its demand accurately, and there's no realistic scenario where it appreciates.
