Grounded strips flying from a creature for one green mana at instant speed — cheap, clean, and permanent until the creature leaves play. It's a narrow answer to a specific problem, and that narrowness is the whole issue: most green decks already have better options that kill the threat outright.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Grounded occupies the bottom rung of interaction — it answers a flier but leaves the body intact, which rarely solves the actual problem at a four-player table. Legacy, Vintage, and Pauper are faster and more threat-dense formats where spending a card to nerf one attacker is close to unplayable. Pauper is the one context where Grounded could theoretically see fringe use against specific flying-heavy aggro, but even there it trades down in card efficiency. Across every legal format, the card asks you to spend a slot on a half-answer.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Grounded is deep bulk — it costs less than the sleeve you'd put it in. That price reflects demand accurately: there's no competitive shell pulling copies, so it's unlikely to move.
