Font of Progress puts a counter on every permanent you control each upkeep — the longer it sits, the more leverage you accumulate across your entire board. The cost is real: it does nothing the turn it lands and dies to any enchantment removal before it pays off.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the natural home for Font of Progress, where games run long enough for the counter accumulation to become meaningful and permanents like planeswalkers, creatures, and enchantments all benefit simultaneously. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it is legally playable but practically irrelevant — those formats end too fast for a slow, passive enchantment to matter, and it sees no competitive presence in any of them. Oathbreaker sits closer to Commander in pace and is the one other format where Font of Progress could earn a slot, though the tighter 58-card constraint raises the bar.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Font of Progress is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and shipping, not the card itself. Bulk rares rarely appreciate unless a deck archetype breaks them, and nothing on the horizon suggests that trajectory here.
