Fountain of Ichor enters with a Oil counter and taps for colorless, then cashes that counter to make a 1/1 Phyrexian artifact creature — a land that converts into a body when you need it. It's a niche card: playable only in decks that actively reward artifacts, tokens, or Oil counters, and deadweight in anything else.

In Commander, Fountain of Ichor earns a slot in Phyrexian-themed or artifact-matters builds that can leverage both the Oil counter and the token — commanders like Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa or Ovika, Enigma Goliath get real mileage from the incidental body. In Pauper, it's a fringe consideration in artifact synergy shells where a free token stapled to a land is genuinely incremental value. Legacy and Vintage have zero interest — the effect is far too slow and the body too small to compete. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander: niche but functional in the right shell.

Price Context
Current price
$0.23 bulk tier
At $0.23, Fountain of Ichor is bulk — grab it out of a common box rather than paying even shipping for a single copy. Bulk artifact lands with narrow applications don't climb in price, so there's no urgency either way.
