Frenzied Tilling destroys a land and puts a basic into play tapped — net one mana ahead on the exchange, with a land denial rider attached. Five mana is real cost, but the effect is clean: ramp that also punishes greedy manabases.

Frenzied Tilling is a Commander card almost exclusively — the five-mana slot is too slow for Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, where land destruction at that cost is simply not competitive. Pauper is where it sees occasional fringe play, since common-legal ramp with a land-destruction rider is actually a novel effect at the rarity, but it still rarely makes the cut outside dedicated land-hate strategies. In Commander, Frenzied Tilling earns its spot in Gruul land-disruption shells, landfall builds that want the basic fetch, or any deck trying to knock out problematic utility lands while advancing its own mana base.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Frenzied Tilling is pure bulk — you're picking it out of a common box, not a singles order. Bulk ramp that doubles as land destruction doesn't trend up, so buy the copy you need and move on.
