Gaseous Form turns a creature into a permanent fog machine — it can't deal combat damage and can't receive it, which locks down an attacker or defender indefinitely for three mana. That's a slow, expensive answer to a problem that instant-speed removal solves permanently, and no competitive format rewards this tradeoff.
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 | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Gaseous Form is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, three mana for an aura that neutralizes one creature without removing it is a losing proposition — the enchanted creature still triggers, still untaps, still blocks, and bounces or kills the aura to undo everything. Pauper is the one format where budget constraints might make you consider it, but even there, commons like Frostbite and Moment's Peace outclass it at the same price point. Legacy and Vintage have enough raw power that Gaseous Form never sees a sleeve.

Price Context
Current price
$0.03 bulk tier
At $0.03, Gaseous Form is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a collection box and stays there. The price reflects the demand accurately: there is none, and no reprint or format shift is going to change that.
