Frenzied Fugue steals any nonland permanent for a full rotation — your upkeep to their upkeep — at four mana with the threat of repeating if it survives. Zidane, Tantalus Thief turns that temporary theft into a permanent conversion engine, making Frenzied Fugue one of the cleanest includes in that deck.

Zidane, Tantalus Thief
Zidane, Tantalus Thief rewards you for controlling permanents you don't own, and Frenzied Fugue delivers exactly that — snag an opponent's best piece, let Zidane cash it in for a permanent steal, and the enchantment keeps threatening to do it again next turn.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Frenzied Fugue is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a four-mana enchantment that takes a full turn cycle to resolve its theft. Commander is where it lives — multiplayer slows the clock, upkeep triggers recur reliably, and stealing a table opponent's best permanent for even one rotation is often worth the investment. In Oathbreaker the accelerated pace makes the delayed-payoff timing rougher, but it's still playable in the right theft shell.

Price Context
Current price
$0.41 bulk tier
At $0.41, Frenzied Fugue is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or grab from a bargain bin. Bulk enchantments with narrow archetypes rarely climb, so don't expect movement unless Zidane, Tantalus Thief strategies spike in popularity.
