High Market card art
High Market is a land that sacrifices a creature at instant speed — no mana, no additional cost, just an ability built into a land slot. That efficiency is why commanders like Dina, Essence Brewer and Minn, Wily Illusionist run it: it converts a creature into a triggered effect on your terms, not your opponents'.

High Market is a Commander staple first and foremost — the ability to sacrifice a creature at instant speed from a land slot is exactly the kind of compressed efficiency that 100-card singleton rewards. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but sees virtually no play, since those formats rarely want a land that enters untapped yet produces only colorless mana with a niche activated ability. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander: the card is playable in creature-value shells but isn't a format staple. Outside those formats, High Market is simply not legal.
