Fry card art
Fry hits white and blue creatures and planeswalkers for two mana at instant speed, ignoring both hexproof and indestructible — two of the most common keywords that make threats stick. It's a surgical answer to the permanents most decks struggle to kill, and the narrow targeting range is the only real cost.

In Commander, Fry earns a sideboard-style role in the main deck for red-heavy builds that need outs to hexproof and indestructible threats — think Hammer of Purphoros or Purphoros, God of the Forge lists that can't easily splash white removal. The targeting restriction to white and blue is meaningful in a four-player pod, but those colors dominate Commander's most powerful threats: Elesh Norn, Rhystic Study's controller, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, and most of the format's dangerous planeswalkers. In Pioneer and Modern, Fry lives in sideboards as a clean answer to Teferi, Hero of Dominaria or Solitude in white-blue shells. Legacy and Vintage have access to better options, so Fry rarely sees play there outside of budget constraints.

Price Context

Current price

$0.13 bulk tier

At $0.13, Fry is pure bulk — easy to pick up in any trade binder or cheap order filler. The price is stable and unlikely to move; it's too narrow for a spike and too widely printed to buyout.
